yeah, I really don't get it. All of a sudden, seroquel has gone from being "that other atypical" to being great for...anxiety, bipolar, agitation, etc. etc. Its kind of amazing, since the drug really isn't that great.
Plus..I seem to recall reading that seroquel has a tendency to induce dopamine supersensitivity (more so than other atypicals, I guess). I forget the mechanism..something about loose binding mixed with a short half-life (kind of like Paxil withdrawal, I guess) but...its rough stuff.
