Hi,
Seroquel works wonders for me at 700mg. At any lower dose it is incredibly sedating but for some reason at that high of a dosage it isn't. I'm not sure if I am bipolar I or II but it doesn't matter-the drug works and doesn't give me intolerable side effects. The only weight gain I have experienced was from me pigging out at the "all-you-can-eat" chinese buffet too many times. The med itself doesn't change my metabolism or slow it down. I have a little bit of dry mouth occasionally and sometimes have a slight delay in urinating. That's it-no foggy headedness, no sexual side effects, no risk of TD. Yay.
Also I should add that I am on another atypical AP at the same time. I take Abilify 30 mg in the am.
