Kristen,
Perhaps I gave you the wrong impression. I asked if you had experienced a psychotic episode because Seroquel is an antipsychotic medication and I was trying to determine the reason it has been added to your cocktail. The primary use of Seroquel is in the treatment of schizophrenia, but some pdocs use a low dose of an antipsychotic as an add-on medication in the treatment of bipolar disorder.
So rest assured Kristen, your posts do not sound delusional or psychotic, if that's where you thought I was coming from.

------------------------------------> LOL Okay, You helped me enough, I thank you.
> What really IS a psychotic episode? If it means intense anger-YES. If it means getting angry-yes-but like once every few months, if that. I have NEVER been given a diagnosis of Psychotic OR Schizophrenia. The 100 mg/day of Seroquel added to my cocktail was for sleep ONLY.
