Suggest an effective alternative for Seroquel
human
I was prescribed seroquel , 50mg, for acute depression and as a sleep aid. I had never used prescription drugs before. It worked great! It’s been a year, and now I’ve upped my 9:pm dose to 150mg. It’s not working and I looked up side effects. I have several listed. What’s my alternative?
