Seroquel for anxiety?

Topics:Seroquel , anxiety

My brother has a history of bulimia and anxiety. He has tried Klonapin and Buspar for anxiety, but his doctor recently decided to try Seroquel. He put him on 50mg (which is a very low dose) and my brother couldn't even drive himself to work the next day he was so wiped out.

Has anyone heard of taking Seroquel for anxiety? I would think that is an off-label use. Zyprexa helps me stay calm, but I sure wouldn't take it if my only problem was anxiety.
