Is Seroquel The Right Medicine For Bi Polar Disorder?

I m bi polar and taking seroquel. I m a heavy to moderate drinker. I drink alot on my days off almost to the point of complete black out. The days I work I ll have maybe 2-5 drinks maybe less. I felt very tired for a dew days and had very low energy all weekend. Two days ago I drank a six pack and went to bed. The next morning after lunch I had forgotten everything I did that morning. I was also disoriented and off that day. My memory was bad as well in general.and all in all I felt very odd and not normal and more clumsy. This has never happened to me before while drinking on seroquel. What could of happened to me?

Hello,

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

Seroquel is used to treat schizofrenia and bi polar disorder.

Your symptoms are probably caused by side effects of seroquel and drinking too much alcohol. You should avoid drinking. It can increase certain side effects of Seroquel.

Common Seroquel side effects may include:
- loss of energy and feeling tired,
- confusion
- weight gain,
- constipation.

Please note that mixing medications and alcohol is extremely unhealthy and dangerous. You should inform your doctor about your alcohol abuse while using Seroquel.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
