Bipolar Disorde
"I am 59 years old, worked as a psych nurse for 28 years &amp; am bipolar. My symptoms manifest in severe depression, anxiety &amp; insomnia so bad I retired early. I have now been on Seroquel for 6 years &amp; in combination with Lamictal * Requip I have been able to enjoy life, sleep well and managed well as an outpatient. Seroquel is for me a miracle. I spent many years addicted to Xanax &amp; other benzodiazepines in a futile attempt to sleep &amp; decrease the anxiety. I know that many psyche meds were originally meant to treat other illnesses &amp; found to be beneficial in others so I feel extremely fortunate to finally have a medicine that works! I often joke with my friends that whoever discovered this medicine should get a Nobel Prize in medicine."
