why would you even be given seroquel and lexapro if you're bipolar? seroquel is an antipsychotic--i'm surprised it would be used for insomnia. lexapro is an antidepressant--antidepressants should not be given to people with bipolar disorder because they can cause mania.

Seroquel works for mania- my father has been prescribed it as part of his cocktail of bipolar medication. It is also not uncommon for people with bipolar to be prescribed anti-depressants, and that's certainly been the case for my father and others I've known with it.
