"this medication has truly saved my life! i have bipolar 1 and would predominantly suffer from intense periods of mania, lasting up to 6 months. i was completely reckless  and out of control in every way. depression was less common but whenever it hit, i would attempt suicide and have done so three times in my life. however since taking quetapine, i became nearly instantly stable and i am now in law school. no weight gain at all, not a single pound! however i cant loose weight either. i&#039;m on 200mg daily at the moment."
