Members responded warmly to someone asking about positive experiences with Seroquel after being prescribed it alongside Remeron and Gabapentin for bipolar disorder and anxiety. Several members shared that Seroquel helped stabilize their moods and improve sleep, noting mild side effects like dry mouth or night sweats, and suggested taking it in the evening to reduce drowsiness. A recurring theme was the importance of trusting your doctor while also advocating for yourself, with many members encouraging the original poster to give the medication a fair chance.

@A MyDepressionTeam Member thank you 🙏🏼 and you’re absolutely right they have to list every side effect and sometimes it’s not even a real side effect from the medication :( I decided against it for now because I am also taking gabapentin and Remeron which are both sedating as well .
