I was recently diagnosed with bipolar type 2 (and GAD) and prescribed 200mgs of Lamictal daily. I'm on 25mgs/day now and working my way up over the next 2 months. I was also prescribed 100mgs of Seroquel nightly only if I find myself spiraling into a depression. I would like to do something about my anxiety also but they won't prescribe me anti-anxiety meds/tranquilizers because of my vulnerability towards addiction which is fine. I don't want an antidepressant either because I've read that they can cause restlessness and difficulty falling asleep which I have a major problem with already so I was thinking about asking if a low-dose of Seroquel would be helpful for my (constant) anxiety. Do you think it would be? But I have read that long-term use of Seroquel in low doses is bad and essentially ineffective for anxiety and the treatment of Bipolar. Anyone know about this? I've read that anything below 300mgs is ineffective for treatment of this disease and I'm only on 100mgs. But it sure knocks me out quick and I like that about it. I've also read that you build a tolerance to it?? And also wondering if Seroquel in low doses will still cause weight gain?? I appreciate any feed back about this and thank you in advance!
