I've had great luck wit this med, but I think the dreaded antipsychotic TD/EPS side effects have finally caught up with me.
Any suggestions? Is Zyprexa any better in this regard? Anybody know when apriprizole will become available?
This med has really made a difference in my life, mood swings and sleep are vastly improved. but my neck and shoulders are becoming useless. help!

How are you doing Crepuscular? I am wondering because my doc just prescibed Seroquel for sleep and anxiety. Not sure I want to take it though if there;s a significant chance of TD. How much did you take and for how long? I hope you do not have the TD as you suspected.

It's common for a poster to come out and roundly criticize everything they've heard or experienced with a certain medication, and to warn others away from this drug.
However, the poster assumes that everyone on earth will have the same reaction to this medication, and others will take the poster's uneducated opinion as gospel.
Seroquel has helped me greatly with anxiety and insomnia. I've read a post swearing that Seroquel "burned a hole" in the poster's brain, and this might have been true for the individual posting. I've been guilty of this myself because
I had such a bad experience with Depakote, and I thought it was my duty to warn others.
It is quite possible that Seroquel is keeping me alive, but it is really not my place to recommend or criticize this drug. No matter what I think of it, I am not a doctor, and my opinion is as individual as my biological and environmental makeup.
Nobody should accept or reject medication based on the opinion of a poster.
