Thanks for any advice

Welcome to the board, and welcome to the life of a bipolar I.

I took Seroquel and it wasn't for me -- it was like being overmedicated all of the time. However, it dealt well with the mania and anxiety, so if you can tolerate the drug you should be better.... but don't hesitate to tell your psychiatrist if you have intolerable side effects (I don't remember what mine were besides sleepiness).
