I was prescribed low dose Seroquel off label for sleep, and was not told how this was a dangerous antipsychotic. After just 2 low doses I had an adverse reaction which has left me total emotional numbing, unrelenting anhedonia, and a blank mind for 9 years. My life is completely ruined because of this and I don’t even have any recourse or answers.
