If I could choose to feel manic but not act in that way I would say keep the zombies away ;-). However knowing the crash that comes from my manic state I would rather be a zombie than feel that way.

Seroquel has been a godsend for me, but I am really happy with the switch to Seroquel XR. Seroquel would knock me out cold for the night, and leave me fuzzy in the morning. The XR seems to keep me level throught the day, and never overly fuzzed.

I say keep looking for a combo that works best for you. Be sure to work with a doctor that wants to work with you, and involve you in the decission process. I like my doc because he asks me what I think we should do, and more often than not he agrees.
