Dear lybrate-user,
sleep problem may be due to your mood disorder itself or may be an independent disorder. Sleepiness, dizziness, unable to exert physically, binge drinking alcohol, etc may be due to depression that has come up. Please request your psychiatrist about adjusting your quetiapine dose. Try to reduce and stop clonotril - not a tablet for bipolar disorder. You need adequate dose of encorate chrono to avoid such mood change in future.

Dear lybrate-user,
quetiapine is a weak antipsychotic. Along with dicorate it will stabilise the mood better for future episodes. Trazine s is a more powerful antipsychotic. Usually it starts working early. You can increase to 3 times a day too. But there are other powerful antipsychotics like risperidone and olanzapine - they act better and faster. Please discuss these with your doctor. If aggression is a problem, please admit him. Either injectable antipsychotic or ect will be added.

ECTs are normally the last line of treatment. It sounds like you may have quite a serious condition. Sleep deprivation is quite common especially during the manic phase. You must make sure that you cooperate because many times you will not believe that there is something wrong and would love to quit the medication.

Quetiapine and fluoxetine are safer psychoactive drugs. But no drug is free from side-effects. Dizziness, headache, constipation and tiredness are some of the common side effects of these two drugs. They are good in treating psychiatric conditions like your daughter's. You are on the right track in treating her by a psychiatrist. But, the causes of the problem may be 1. Biochemical changes (abnormal or subnormal levels of neurotransmitters in the brain). 2. There may be any underlying traumatic ...more
