That's extremely strange that they'd land on Seroquel as a first med for bipolar. A lot of GPs don't even mess with treating bipolar period... and this is probably why. lol
They titrate it up to prevent the rash, or so is my understanding. But part of me thinks it's because they like to torture us.
