SEROQUEL XR  (QUETIAPINE FUMARATE):  This medication is used to treat certain mental/mood conditions (such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, sudden episodes of mania or depression associated with bipolar disorder). It is also used with other medications to treat depression. Quetiapine is known as an anti-psychotic drug (atypical type). It works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural substances (neurotransmitters) in the brain. This medication can decrease hallucinations and improve your concentration. It helps you to think more clearly and positively about yourself, feel less nervous, and take a more active part in everyday life. It may also improve your mood, sleep, appetite, and energy level. Quetiapine can help prevent severe mood swings or decrease how often mood swings occur.   FDA Approval Date: 2007-05-17 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 3  Schizophrenia What does XR in Seroquel mean. Is it more effective then regular Seroquel. Is it like Invega extended release tablets aka Risperdal's son. I heard the extended release versions on these drugs are nothing but patent extenders. Does anyone have any idea if the extended release is more effective. Many doctors seem not to be prescribing these medicines over the regular versions. Does the XR version still give you the weight gain. I have not been prescribed this yet. Does it just dissolve in the body at a slower rate making it better? I do not see the advantages vs the regular. Are the side effects better with the extended release versions? M 30 6 months

 5  bi polar the main side effect is sedation. Though I have titrated up to 200 mg during the day, I started with 400mg at night. Now I take a total of 600 mg. The medication has given me relief with my mania, agitation and mood stability. I still feel some depression, but it has become managable. It has also helped me control my moods to the extent that I no longer self harm. I would recommend people try it, but be very careful, it is a powerful medicine. F 50 1 years
