I found that Seroquel made me really dopey and so do all the benzodiazpans (Urbanol, Xanax, etc).
Everything has side-effects - stick with it and see how it works for you. I'm trying Topamax at the moment for the same problems as you (plus I have depression and panic disorder).
All these drugs are scary - you have to decide on what the acceptable level of discomfort is for you personally. I am also going to start cognative behavioural therapy, which is supposed to be excellent for the GAD and the OCD.
Nothing in life is without risk, but personally, given that I still get in my car every day to drive to work, which is about the most (statistically) dangerous thing any of us will ever do, I prefer to take something to help me function than to live with the problems my mental illnesses bring to every aspect of my life.
Good luck!
