"i have heard all kinds of bad things about seroquel but to me this medicine has saved my life. i was diagnosed with cyclothymia with racing thoughts and extreme hypo-manic phases followed by intense depression. not to mention i would get so paranoid sometimes that i couldn&#039;t leave the house. i had tried everything including lithium but then i went to a new doctor. she said i could try seroquel xr but i probably wouldn&#039;t like feeling sedated. i said sedated? fine! the funny thing is that i have had more energy but it is calm positive energy. i made a huge turn around and life is back on track. i thought i had adhd as well but now i have great concentration, no anxiety, and can sit still for hours. i highly recommend if your symptoms sound like mine."
