In reply to Will Seroquel XR give me akathisia this time?, posted by tiopenster on July 3, 2010, at 14:02:10
seroquel really isn't what I'd call a first-line treatment for anxiety. And you had pretty bad akathisia so..I'd say "NO!" to that suggestion. Long-term treatment with a neuroleptic can result in tardive akathisia, which basically means your akathisia has gone from a temporary condition to a permanent one, that will remain even after the drug is withdrawn. That's a high price to (potentially) pay for an anxiety treatment.
Plus, Seroquel sucks. The Seroquel people are always getting sued over diabetes, tardive dyskinesia, and other probs.
Can you take something, anything else?
