My girlfriend is experiencing a robust and sustained antidepressant effect from Seroquel 700mg. I have become interested in trying this myself. According to the BNN newsletter, a recent study determined that Seroquel monotherapy 300-600mg was effective for treating bipolar depression. Interesting.

>Hi Scott,
I don't know. :) I am mostly facinated buy things that block 5-HT2A since it seems to be the cornerstone of most of the AP's, TCA's & alot of migraine prevention drugs.
I will investigate however :)
Cheers,
