Hunk,
Reduced drive and creativity and especially hypersomnia are commonly reported side effects of Seroquel. I know that you experienced some psychosis, so the Seroquel may be necessary, but do you think that you might eventually be able to come off of it (especially if your mania and psychosis were triggered by one or more of your antidepressants)? I could be wrong, but I think that eliminating or reducing the Seroquel might be the key to sleeping more normally and getting some of your drive and creativity back. Of course, you don't want to forget about the benefits of the Seroquel, either.
