Is Seroquel Xr Tablet The Right Medicine For Bipolar Disorder And Depression?

My doc put me on seroquel xr increasing from 50mg to 300mg withing a 14 day trial. I am also taking celexa 40 mg. My doc told me that I show signs of bipolar not just severe depression. Im on the third night of the seroquel xr and honestly I have to be dragged out of bed in the morning. Does it get easier to wake up?

maybe but most people with severe psychomotor retardation from it have to have the medicine changed.
It is indicated for bipolar due to essentially it's ability to slow down thoughts. This can have negative consequences also
