"i have been prescribed quetiapine for just over 2 weeks. i am on a low dose at the moment (50mg) daily and an extra 25mg if required for bad days. i have had years of depression, racing thoughts, suicidal thoughts, irrational behaviour patterns, manic episodes, extreme spending and impulsive major decisions. although i have spent the last 12 years on anti-depressants, it is only very recently that the psychiatrist is treating me for bi-polar.
the first 10 days were magic, deep sleeps, vivid dreams and no more racing thoughts, i seemed to deal with things better, more rational with my thinking. it was the best i have been for years and years. but the last few days i have cried a lot and been very depressed, self loathing and quite snappy."
