14 Sep 2013 It works well but not happy with weight gain, dehydration which causes difficulty breathing at night if haven't consumed enough fluids), heat sensitivity and leg cramping!! It's an improvement over feeling nautious and vomiting nearly on a daily basis when I was on Abilify!!

09 Nov 2010 Ive been on various medicines snice I was 15. My diagnosis was never made certain snice my history of drug use. This year i was diagnosed Bi-polar with possible pychosis. seroquel XR made me feel very sleepy. I noticed it stared to change who I was,friends say My personality and charcter were fading. The medicine helped me stay calm and it did control my anger but it started changing who I was.

19 Mar 2009 Am on with depakote for biploar hypo mania. Was on Geodon and too sedating, Thoughts of death. Tremors really bad treated with cogentin. then got blurred vision and urinary retention. Seroquel was excellent. Increased weight though. Not as seating as Geodon. Went to XR this past week less sedating less carb cravings. Still on both drugs and feel wonderful!
