To be fair he has seen all my docs notes so prob knows the situation better than i think he does.
Who here has been put on this?
What are your thoughts?

Hi, I started off on 25mg of Quetiapine about a year ago. At the time it was to help me sleep and to help with my anxiety. I increased it myself because I could no longer sleep off 25mg. I was also put on sodium volproate and prozac and was diagnosed with a mood disorder. 4 weeks ago I was officially diagnosed with Bipolar and taken off the sodium volproate and the quetiapine was upped to 200mg of the XR type which is a slow release one. They are also thinking of putting me on Lithium, I will find out whats going on with that on friday. I didn't get any side effects when i started taking quetiapine and i've found it ok. Whats is the reason your doc has prescribed it for you?
Take care
