I constantly feel tired and put a lot of weight on. Can anyone tell me how to deal with the side effects? Tommorow-I go and see my therapist and Psychiarist-they said last app't they wanted to put me on Seroquel XR-Is this a better drug for those who switched from the regular one to this one? Please, help! I feel my life is passing by and I am always tired and sleep and I am wasting my life away. I wish my depression would go away-I wish I could stop all my meds for manic depression because there are to many side effects. I like being manic then depressed. Life sucks and I hate how this illness controlls my life.
