"Bipolar" (Britt1000)

MDJunction to me

"When I first came to MDJ, I was in a very dark place, and feeling quite alone, I don't know how I found this site, but I have been very grateful ever since, all of you have offered insight to the illness of Bipolar and the other things going on with me, being here has allowed me to find friends, and to feel safe in discussing things that I would never have shared before.

I believe it has also offered me the chance to reach out and help others. A simple Thank you, is all that I have to offer, to this site and to the wonderful people here." (carmen33)

I'm taking 150mg and have been dosing for about 12 days. It seemed to do wonders at first, though the side effects were strong. I am getting a lot of "evening out of moods" but am fluctuating more and more into the extremes.

Has anyone else had similar experiences? I'm not sure seroquel is the right fit if this is all it can do..!

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.

I gained a TON of weight. It did wonders for my sleep and mood at first. Now even the sleep can be hard to get to. I'm asking my pdoc to switch me.
