Hi, I am bipolar and have schizo affective disorder too. My doctor has been working with me for 3 years now trying to find the right med combination to help me. I have tried so many meds. I have been on Seroquel now for about 5 months. I have gained weight, but the one side effect I get from Seroquel, even after being on it this long, is it zonks me out in a huge way. I wake up very late the next day and also feel "out of it" or like a zombie for hours. But, this is the best med I have found to control my bad thoughts and manic episodes. So that is why I am staying on it. My dose is 500mg a day.
