Answers:
Hey, Seroquel is a mood stabilizer. It is intended to soften the highs and lows that accompany mood disorders. I started it about two months ago ant it has been great. I have very few anger outbursts now. I don't get angry as often and not so strong as before. About two weeks ago Paxil was added to my treatment. Paxil is an SSRI antidepressant. Life is much better and much, much easier since I have found these drugs. I am including some resources for you to check out. I hope this all helps you out.
