There really is not a "true" bipolar. The spectrum is wide and varied and each individual is different. Heck, in 20 years they may not be calling some of us bipolar anymore.
As far as seroquel or any other AP is concerned, I think there is far more potential for insulin resistance and other metabolic issues than most SSRIs. But that's just my opinion. I'd have to do more research to come to any solid conclusion, which at this point is likely impossible anyway. In my experience, APs like seroquel and zyprexa, even at low doses, noticeably impacted my metabolism in a very short period of time. With Prozac and Zoloft, I do think there was an impact, but it felt much slighter and it took much longer to notice it.
