"i have bipolar type ii and have been taking seroquel for the past two years.  it has helped a great deal by stabilizing my moods and providing me with a good night&#039;s sleep every night, no matter what.  each morning, i wake up feeling refreshed and in control of my day.  used to take 300mg a day, but now i only need 100mg, or 150-200mg on bad days.  this was the only medicine that did not cause tremors or restless legs. i&#039;ve been on lamictal and geodon which all caused tremors.  it got rid of the angry hypomanic episodes.  the 300mg caused only minimal weight gain (i gained more weight when i was on lithium), and extra drowsiness in the mornings."
