Hey Dlsiaho,
While that is unusual it certainly is possible. You may be having a serious side effect from the seroquel and need to report this to the doctor. A month is a good trial period so if it isn't working for you, then there are other meds to try. Best to let the doc know. Good luck!!

Seroquel is all I'm taking. I had been off my meds for a year before this past month.
All I can say is that Seroquel curbed my mania. I take 600 mg/day with 600 mg of Tegratol.
