Suggest An Effective Alternative For Seroquel

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?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

There are many alternatives to seroquel for depression. In case you have bipolar depression the options include Latuda, Lamotrigine and combination of olanzapine and fluoxetine.

In case you have unipolar depression almost all antidepressants can be used as alternative to seroquel.

Hope I have answered your query.
