You are all so kind thank you so much. That other forum looks so massive and I just don't know where to start ha. I'll figure it out though. Thanks again for all of your support and help.

Thank you so much for your efforts to help. I don't know what to do or where to turn and you have been a great and wonderful source of information for me. Thanks again, and I will keep in touch.

I'm not sure but she is Bipolar and she is apparently pyschotic. She was in a pyschiatric ward for about a year. I suppose this was the reason they are trying Seroquel on her? It's a pysch drug. Would it help to describe it? She tries to cut herself from time to time and she feels worthless, never really angry, she doesn't get rage she gets so emotionally upset and worthless feeling that she feels she should just die.

I did the same thing! There are so many horrible side affects. I have created a document I'd like to show her and her family about how people have reacted to Seroquel. Most of the responses are from women who have experienced horrible side affects. This is stressing me out so bad. Would it be correct to assume that her lack of interest in me all of the sudden shouldn't be taken personal and I should blame it on the medications she is taking? It was an overnight change. It is really scaring me. My mother told me that I should be careful because every medicine is going to be on the internet with horror stories behind them. I know this is true, but I've looked up many medicines before and never seen any with such horrible side affects as this. And the worst part is that I haven't only read them, but I've been watching her HAVE them. The more I look into it the more I can pinpoint exactly what she is telling me she feels. I'm not doctor and I know I can't prescribe her medicines, but I don't think she was warned about any of these side affects or even knows how this may affect her. I'm worried enough today I haven't been able to contact her, I think she's been in bed all day still. Something will have to change tomorrow, it's getting too late now but I am going to do something to fix this tomorrow. I can't stand the agony that this is putting her through. I was doing some reading and I came to find that Seroquel is for people who are possibly a little too hyper and need to tone it down (Seroquel brings you down from being hyper) whereas Wellbutrin is the opposite and takes someone who is depressed and brings them UP to a normal state. My brother takes Wellbrutin and he is doing very well and I know no 2 people are the same, but my fiance is VERY depressed without her medicines... suicidal many times. After reading the difference between Wellbutrin and Seroquel, wouldn't Wellbutrin sound like a better choice for her? I feel bad for pestering everyone so much with this, but this has me so worried that I haven't eaten in 4 days and I slept only 2 nights of those 4 days. I can only think of how bad she must be feeling and wonder what I can do to help. I guess it's a safe assumption that I love her more than anything and am willing to do anything for her. So, what is everyones opinions on Wellbutrin? Or are there any other medicines that may work better for a suicidal and bipolar person?
