I'm not an expert and I do not have personal experience with Seroquel but her way really sounds dumb to me.
Why does she have you breaking it? Is she giving you samples?

Here is some info on Seroquel:

It does not work right away like Xanax. A person has to take it a little while to feel the benefits.

Seroquel is an expensive drug. It is not available in generic in the US.


You need to get those people to treat your anxiety according to accepted protocols. You need to find a way to get them to change, or else get someone else to treat you.

Also, stop waiting patiently between appointments.
Call them on Friday and tell them that you are in a bad way and need more help.
Ask to see them.
If they won't, go to emergency services.

Find a way to get proper treatment. It will be worth the fight.
People can sometimes improve drmatically with the right medications. You deserve the chance to get better.
