I WAS on 300mg/day Seroquel, which helped a lot withmy anxiety and racing thoughts - basically the too-highs of the spectrum - but didn't help my downs. I took 50mg in the morning and afternoon and 200mg at bedtime.
Now I take 300mg Seroquel once a day at bedtime. And I take 500mg/day Depakote (250mg twice daily). The depakote REALLY helps me with the low end of the spectrum. I felt better the first day on it. I never wake up sad now, which used to always happen. I'm less impulsive. BUT caffeine seems to affect me much more strongly (racing thoughts, lots of movement, etc) so I have had to cut back on that to one cup a day.
Now I feel and think like me. Not lethargic. Not too spastic.
