Bipolar Disorde
"Hi all! I&#039;m diagnosed with PTSD and bipolar type 1. After my most recent manic episode I crashed into the worst depression and extreme anxiety I&#039;ve ever experienced. I was tried on the usual antipsychotics and had dangerous side effects from all of them except Seroquel. For years and years I&#039;ve had extreme insomnia. I was started on Seroquel (300mg) for sleep about 6 months and it was immediately effective. I love being able to sleep, but I&#039;m sleeping 10  hours. I&#039;d like to try to cut back a little and see if I can get to 8-9 hrs/night. My psychiatrist tells me I&#039;m not just taking it for sleep, but for the bipolar itself. I&#039;m still not back to my usual self due to lack of interest in anything. Hopefully I&#039;ll soon be better!"
