In this episode, I discuss a medication that patients who saw a psychiatrist or their primary care provider between about 1997 and 2015 were very likely to find themselves prescribed.  More recently, it has been taken down a notch or two on prescribers lists of preferred meds.  This medication is quetiapine, marketed as Seroquel by AstraZeneca in the US.  Whether you were diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, an eating disorder, insomnia, PTSD, borderline personality disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and many others it appeared in the mid 2000s that Quetiapine was just the thing for you.  Was it ever?
