Hello again,
I agree with the general comment of SLS that others beside seroquel have antidepressant qualities.. a psychopharm who used to treat me demonstrated in a trial that risperdal and zyprexa both had an equal antidepressant response.. i think it generally comes down to side effects... ive found risperdal to be nauseating and causes sexual problems yet has low sedative qualities... zyprexa is highly sedating, and has the most considerable weight gain but probably has the fastest onset... whereas seroquel is moderately sedating with less weight gain.. this is just my opinion, im sure many on this board have experienced similar and very different SEs from these drugs..
