Hello bp2012! Welcome to the forum! I am bipolar too and have been for a long time. I was on seroquel too and it wasn't for me. Not every medication is the same for everyone. It is your choice to stay off medication, but that choice wasn't healthy for me because I was in and out of the hospital because of that.

But like I said everyone is different. so good luck and welcome to the forum! This is an awesome place to vent
