Has anyone ever taken SEROQUEL and then went manic?

Question

My son is on his fourth day of taking seroquel for bipolar mania and it seems to me that he is becoming manic again.

Does anyone else have that kind of experience????

Answer 1

When I was on Seroquel it really stomped on the mania... like within a couple of days it was gone but it made me severely depressed. Maybe his dose isn't high enough? Check with his doc.

Answer 2

Seroquel is very sedating, too much so for maintence in my case.  Your son may well need his dose increased.  Call his doc.  Serqouel causing mania would be extremely unusual.
