"i take this medication for bipolar, but it also does wonders for generalized anxiety disorder. i have suffered for decades with anxiety and panic attacks and ssris have stopped working for me. when i started taking seroquel it was like i finally saw color in the black and white world i was living in. my moods are completely under control and my anxiety is controlled for the most part. this medication definitely has side effects. its a tranquilizer. it makes you very tired. it also made me gain a significant amount of weight...but i would rather deal with the side effects then deal with the horrible anxiety i was living with everyday. i take it before bed...make sure you&#039;re able to get at least 8 hours of sleep so you&#039;re not groggy the next day"
