- Quetiapine appears to be effective at preventing both depressive and hypomanic/mixed relapse.
- It is possible to reach the working (therapeutic) dose of quetiapine more quickly than with other medications for BPII, such as lamotrigine.
- Most people are able to continue taking quetiapine even if they experience side effects. In a study lasting one year, about 92-94 in 100 people continued taking quetiapine. However, the side effects of quetiapine depend on the dose taken.
