The anger??

By otter46 Wednesday, May 02, 2007

I was diagnosed with bipolar a year ago.I have tried several different meds and now am on lamictal and seroquel.The lamictal seems to be helping with my depression ,the seroquel seemed to be helping with my manic moods but now I'm not so sure..I can go from being "Normal" to feeling so angry it's scary.I find it so difficult to make friendsĀ  and always feel like I am invisible to others..My feelings are hurt so easily, and it becomes obsessive where I can't stop the thoughts..I feel like I am going crazy..I had heard someone say that she thought the seroquel caused her to have terrible negative thoughts and I was wondering if anyone else has felt that way..I don't know if my symptoms are from the bipolar or the meds? I would appreciate any feedback or thoughts...Thanks....

Dear otter46:

 

Thank you for contributing your entry to the bipolar community. To find out more information, including side effects, etc., on Seroquel, I would recommend that you check out http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/find-drug-1282-150.html. I urge you to continue to sharing with the community, as I assume there are other members out there experiencing the same symptoms as you and would benefit from your shareposts.

 

Sincerely,

Thanks Charley for your post.I have since stopped the seroquel and started abilify.The seroquel was making me sleep all the time..The abilify is working but is very expensive and only covered 40% by my insurance..I hope the seroquel is helping you....
