ACE's response is over my head and I am reluctant to recommend a specific drug regime. I think what he says about TCAs and MAOIs effectiveness may be true but he does not mention side effects and discontinuation rates (generally lower for SSRI). Also, I think most physicians would be reluctant to start TCAs or MAOIs without a thorough trial on SSRIs. Well, that has nothing to do with seroquel--my daughter who is alcoholic with an ED finds it to be an exrtremely reliable anxiolytic at low dose. She takes prn at this point. Preferable for her because of substance abuse history--loves benzos but recognizes this is not a wise choice for her,
