Hi, I just found this support group. I am not new to bi-polar disorder though. I was diagnosed in 2001, but for 10 yrs before that I was misdiagnosed with chronic clinical depression. My boyfriend also suffer's from this but he has more manic episode episode's than me. I have more depressive episodes. When my boyfriend's mom passed away on Thanksgiving day (of all days!) my honey got very depressed, ofcourse and then his health went down hill very fast and Iv'e been doing a lot of weeping several times a day, because now he is sick with Chronic Obstructive Disorder and was hospitalized for 5 days in early Feb 2012. So, things have been rough and sad.Sad

Where do I write what meds I'm on? I see your on 400 mg of seroquel. so was i until my boyfriend got sicker and I wanted to be able to be woken up incase he had an emergency, so I'm pretty much off it, but boy did it make me sleep like a rock. It took me a few hours after I woke up to feel alert.
