Welcome to PC. I know that feeling of losing your personality because when I was on Seroquel XR, I lost my creativity, my personality and felt generally numb to everything around me and also everything inside of me.

There are meds. out there that you can find that do not give you that numb feeling. My pdoc took me off of Seroquel XR and put me on Abilify, increasing my dosage slowly until I was at the max. 30 mg. I have had a lot of manic breakthroughs, but generally it has made me feel stable a lot of the time.

However, it is not the only med. I am on. It took a long while to find the right med. cocktail, but you will find it. I PROMISE!!!

Good Luck and, again, welcome.
