They use it for depression in America as well as for bipolar, schizophrenia. I'm in uk
I'm in the UK. I've been on Quetiapine 300mg (Seroquel) for Hypomania and auditory hallucinations for almost a year, made me less tired than when I was on the anti-depressants Citalopram and Mirtazapine, but I still can't cope with the sedation and emotional flattening. Currently tapering to try Aripiprozole (Abilify) 10mg, increasing to 15mg is side effects are tolerable. Apparently it's bad for agitation as a side effect, have you experienced anything like that?
