If you do not metabolize like the average person then xr may not work. What about regular seroquel?

As far as I know I don't have any metabolic problems, so I hope there's nothing to worry about in that department. That said, aside from the Seroquel issue I have also noticed my lithium levels going up (significantly) over time. So maybe taking the non-XR Seroquel variant will be a good option. I'll bring it up with my Pdoc to see which is the best alternative. Thank you for mentioning it!
