Or.....I've more frequently had a problem (until recently) with being too sedated (or prone more to depression), and now my doctor has suggested res...respiridol? I don't know, it's one of the atypical antipsychotics, but I thought he meant just to get me out of this manic thing and get restabilized. Sounds like you're saying seroquel is a long term solution? I'm afraid of being totally out of it.
