"i can honestly say this medication saved my life. i was diagnosed with bipolar disorder type ii when i was 16 and was in a very dark place that i didn&#039;t think i would ever be able to come out of. after a couple months of taking quetiapine i noticed a dramatic change in my moods - i was a good 85% more stable than i had been in the previous 3-4 years and it also majorly helped my insomnia. although after being on the medication for a year i did have to re-adjust my dose and put it higher, it&#039;s still working amazingly. obviously it&#039;s not a cure, i still have some bad days! but i can move on from them within 24 hours without feeling like my world is falling apart. i&#039;m 18 nearly 19 now and this is the happiest i&#039;ve been in years."
