There is a huge difference in being dx Bp2 and having Anxiety. One major concern is insurance, also it can impact your personal life having this dx. I have been on Seroquel for 7 years and I can tell you if I was able to get by on something without the side effects I would do it in a second.

Pdocs have an entire list of requirements to complete before starting someone on a med like Seroquel. You need to have your blood drawn so your dr can assess if your liver and kidneys are functioning properly. You should have a thyroid test because thyroid disorders can mimic many psychiatric disorders. Do you have a therapist the pdoc talked to prior to meeting with you? Do you have a primary care doc that has already done your blood work?

If not that psychiatrist was entirely negligent and you defiantly need an appointment with a doc that will take all the proper measures to protect your health, both mentally and physically.
