"i&#039;ve only been on seroquel for 2/3 weeks but i have had a largely positive experience. i have had a diagnosis of depression for about ten years and was using cipralex (lexapro). i came off cipralex twice, and both times i became very depressed. 

even on cipralex my mood was constantly changing so i went to see a psychiatrist who thinks i may have cyclothymia or bipolar 2 so started me on 50mg of seroquel. 

initially i was very groggy but have gotten over that. i&#039;ve also gained a stone in weight. but my mood has really stabilised for the first time. i feel happy,  confident and passionate. i no longer have a million thoughts in my head so can focus better. hopefully this continues."
