Quetiapine is fairly fast acting and effective for many with generaliized anxiety disorder and total of 100mg/ day (25mg 4 times daily is well within dosage guidelines providing you are free of side effects such as dizziness, dry mouth, vomiting or constipation.Trust your Dr.. After all, anxiety is why you are consulting with your Psychiatrist and Healthtap.

If you are not confident in your Psychiatrist please consult with another for a second opinion. You may want to add sessions with a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy to help with anxiety.
