Hi Marsha,
> Nothing really went wrong with the Seroquel. It just didn't do what it was prescribed for - to help alleviate anxiety.
Were you taking a high enough dose? What other things have you tried for anxiety? I can't recall if you said you've taken a benzo.

> All dopaminergic meds make me anxious (Wellbutrin, Provigil stimulants).Good luck. Start low and see how it goes. Provigil and stimulants do make me overstimulated after a while. Very low dose abilify is stimulating but a little easier for me to manage (with a benzo for anxiety as needed).
Oh, I found an added plus with Abilify. I think I have a mild case of restless legs. After my second dose of Abilify it was completely gone.
