Question:
Does seroquel treat bipolar- depression successfully?
Recently i have just been proposed the diagnosis of manic depression, or bipolar. My psychiatrist wants to put me on Seroquel, an antipsychotic (the category name is scary to me) and am very hesistant about going on such a powerful drug. Id just like some feedback from those who have my type of bipolar (depressive) about Seroquel.
Answers:
I took it for Major Depression as part of a study group; it seemed to work pretty well. I asked my doctor to put me back on Paxil after the study was over. Paxil was working well for me and I didn't feel like I needed something as strong as Seroquel.
A friend of mine is taking Seroquel for Bipolar DIsorder and he appears to be doing very well. He is more calm, not as manicky or hyper as he used to be.
