Eek. An Australian shortage of Seroquel IR 25mg and XR 300mg formulations. That's a medication that is widely used to manage psychotic illnesses like schizophrenia and bipolar. You can't simply swap it out for another antipsychotic as they all have different mechanisms of action and the washout period can be very disruptive to stability. Pts are understandably alarmed.

I took it for BP2 and it was quite good for my mental health and quite bad for my metabolic health.
