However, it's "off label" use in application to chronic pain is sometimes applied for its' affect on mood, depression and insomnia.
--Seroquel is NOT a Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor. It is an atypical antipsychotic that has many modes of therapeutic action including antagonism at serotonin, noradrenaline, and dopamine receptor sites. Its FDA approved uses include Schizophrena, Bipolar I Mania, Bipolar Depression, and maintenance of Bipolar I as adjunct therapy to depakote or lithium. It is NOT approved for unipolar depression or personality disorders, however many doctors use the drug off-label for a range of disorders including insomnia, anxiety, unipolar depression, PTSD, psychoses, etc.
There is no record or any studies complete on the efficiency of Seroquel on pain receptors. Doctors do not use Seroquel "off label" for pain. Seroquel is a VERY serious medication. There are many drugs that can be used for pain including Serotonin Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors such as Effexor and Cymbalta as well as anti-convulsants such as Lyrica and Neurontin.
Look up Seroquel on www.drugs.com or talk to your local pharmacist or health professional about the uses of Seroquel.
--------Answerer #2 hit the nail on the head and Answerer #1 is dead wrong and should be disregarded as garbage. As a note to that the most common use of seroquel that I've seen is as a sedative antipsychotic. The main noticeable effect of this drug is that it makes you tired and clears thoughts from your head, which is useful in making people who have racing thoughts due to a manic phase in Bipolar disorder or a person who has panic attacks or has thoughts of nervousness or flashbacks that are preventing sleep. The second answerer is right...this is a very strong drug and I've never seen it used to just control pain symptoms or even sedate people who are in pain. Just to restate this is not an SSRI, it's an antipsychotic and a rather strong one.
