Comment:
This medicine in combination with my anti-depressant and anti-anxiety is the best cocktail so far. I can really see a difference. Although I still have episodes they are few and far between.

Comment:
Seroquel XR destroyed my memory. I would not be able to find very common words I wanted to say and would forget what I was talking about mid-sentence. I could not sleep until my dosage was increased to a very high amount. I don't why taking more allowed me to sleep, but i have heard of this same effect on others. When I quit taking it, these effects went away with time.
