Is Seroquel the right medicine for bi polar disorder?
human
I m bi polar and taking seroquel. I m a heavy to moderate drinker. I drink alot on my days off almost to the point of complete black out. The days I work I ll have maybe 2-5 drinks maybe less. I felt very tired for a dew days and had very low energy all weekend. Two days ago I drank a six pack and went to bed. The next morning after lunch I had forgotten everything I did that morning. I was also disoriented and off that day. My memory was bad as well in general.and all in all I felt very odd and not normal and more clumsy. This has never happened to me before while drinking on seroquel. What could of happened to me?
