I will only take Seroquel for short periods of time (3-7 days).
I know this is not generally a good therapeutic time, but it helps me.

I'm not bi-polar, I have mood disorder NOS, and a personality disorder known as borderline personality disorder (BPD).

*not things I'm particularly proud of, but I have a feeling its genetic since my mother and sister are both a few crayons short of a box*

I won't stay on Seroquel due to its nasty side effect of weight gain.

Can't say I've had any side effects you've mentioned though.

And I've tried both aformentioned medications.
