AZ also just filed a new app for EU for MDD, just this last month or so

I think psychiatry has run out of ideas. If you back a couple decades, the "antipsychotics" were just considered "tranquilizers." They were like barbiturates, only decidedly less fun and less likely to cause behavioral problems due to disinhibition. As a result, you had docs giving out Thorazine, Mellaril, etc. in varying doses for all sorts of "neurotic" complaints.
And now...seroquel, the Thorazine for our age, has decided to seek FDA approval for what has already become a common practice (from what I understand, lots of shrinks are using atypicals off-label, especially if the doc has problems with benzos or the patient has a history of substance abuse).

I was given Seroquel for insomnia and anxiety. It worked for awhile. Then I got more Seroquel. When my Seroquel was up to 1000mgs, they then added 4mg of Xanax XR and a few grams of Neurontin. After that stopped working, I got 2000mgs of Depakote. I was also on a lot of prozac. Now I'm kind of stuck, at 1000mgs of Seroquel, off Depakote for a few years now. This is all very problematic. These drugs are sold as not being addictive drugs like my one closely monitored vicodin prescriptioin, but I find them more addictive than even cigarettes which I gave up a year ago, too. I wonder what you can do. They don't have rehab for seroquel, so what do you do, if you can't do it alone? I lived through a tornado that destroyed my home, and didn't get anxiety. That leaves me to wonder about the other "anxiety" that I have and whether it's really a side effect of all of this stuff.
