Seroquel is usually divided up into two doses - evening and morning. A larger dose is sometimes taken at night. The new Seroquel XR requires only once-a-day dosing.

I wish you luck with this. Please post of your progress.

Even though I did not respond at all to Seroquel, I still respond partially to Zyprexa, Geodon, and Abilify. A failure to respond to Seroquel does not rule out an entire class of drug. Right now, another friend of mine is responding robustly to Wellbutrin + Lexapro + Geodon. Bipolar disorder runs in her family, but she has never had a manic episode. Both she and her sister respond partially to Parnate, but their doctors were resistant to adding anything to it.
