Hmm maybe I worded it wrongly, but she does suspect I have Bipolar, and since I requested to change medication because of the drowsiness, we agree to try the Bipolar medication to see if it works better for me.

Same, I'm actually trying to get ADHD diagnosis.

may i ask what are the names of the med?

and does the bipolar one make you drowsy?

It's Seroquel XR, I have not taken them yet as I would need to purchase them from outside pharmacies (it won't be subsided).

It would supposedly make me drowsy at lower dose, but the effect will lessen at higher doses.
