"i am bipolar ii and cycle on hypo-manic to manic. i am on 250mg x 2 night and 1 x morning.  i was placed on 200mg x 2 lamictal and reduced my seroquel to 75mg at the night. it seems i have been able to focus more and be motivated and lost 45lbs in the process that i had built up over 3 years. i place this down to sugar cravings from my morning dose. no major side effects in me."
