This is from wikipedia:

The FDA approved Seroquel XR for the treatment of bipolar depression and bipolar mania in early October, 2008.
You are absolutely correct though it is usually supplemented with an additional antidepressant. However, having used Seroquel and then Seroquel XR myself and having spoken with my resources (as I was concerned with the vast number of medications that I had to take) we were able to take out a lot of supplemental meds but Seroquel XR or Seroquel is not effective as a mood stabilizer. Thank you for the correction.
