I took Seroquel for over a year. I was going through a really, really bad depressive phase and the Seroquel snapped me out of it. I felt really good and stable while I was on it. I was able to think clearly, which is rare among these types of meds.

For me, the biggest side effects were weight gain and fatigue. I stopped taking it because the fatigue was becoming too much. I'm trying lithium now. If this doesn't work I might go back on a lower dose of Seroquel to keep my mood more stable with lower fatigue.

I'd at least give it a try. Everyone responds differently to meds and it might work out really well for you. If not, you can always switch to something else.

Good luck!
