I am new here and I have Bipolar 1. I was prescribed Seroquel 200mg from my new psychiatrist and I looked it up and decided to find a forum. I am also taking Brintellix 10mg. I take both at bedtime along with several other medications not necessarily for Bipolar tho'. I have been diagnosed for about 12 years, but had it for many many years before and had been misdiagnosed a major depression. I was glad to know I was finally labeled correctly. I feel I am on the right track now and was released from the hospital on the 26th of June this year. I hope I will never go that route again! I put my hubby thru way too much. We have 8 dogs and they help me a lot. I feel a kinship with them. lol I hope I will be back here as I have trouble with keeping a schedule of any sort. I had a test from another psychiatrist who told me my memory was better than normal but my emotions we all over the place. I am not currently seeing him because after the hospitalization I decided to go back to the original doctor who diagnosed me even tho' she is like 5 hours one way from me, I feel it is worth it. Driving has always made me feel calm and I sure don't mind the commute since we live in the land time forgot. I guess that's about all for now.
