My bipolar is very unstable. I have mixed episodes a lot or you could call it rapid cycling. Seroquel has been FDA approved to treat bipolar depression, but it has never helped me in that way.
I am trying to wean off it because of weight gain, it makes feel like I am in a fog and other health concerns about it.
I am on a minimal dose of Tegretol. I don't even know why I take it. It is the next to go after the Seroquel.
I have been on every mood stabilizer but had to stop all of them because of bad side effects.
