I am looking for information on Seroquel in relation to how it might actually INCREASE anxiety and agitation. My 84 yr old mother who has Parkinsons Disease has been having anxiety attacks which also are associated with agitation . She was started on Seroquel in a small dose to be taken each night. Her anxiety/agitation has increased both in frequency and duration since beginning this med. Her physician has tried increasing the doseage with no change other than more anxiety. Has anyone else had this reaction and if so, did increasing the dose further help at all? I'm afraid thast increasing this medication once again will only make matters worse.
Thanks for any assistance ....

Im not to sure . I was placed on seroquel for anxiety and depression . I ony stayed on it for about 3 months , then I stopped .
but I felt no agression or less anxiety. But I would probelly get her off the meds. Because alot of docters will keep raising the dose until you dont get the dr.'s desired effects , which may never happen. The only thing it did for me was put me to sleep.
