Playing the medication guessing game again

I haven't been here lately, and I am sorry for that. Things haven't been great. My doc added Wellbutrin to my medication regime, and it seemed to make me much more irritable and angry. So I stopped it and that seems to have sent me into a sprial of ups and downs.

Saw doc few days ago. I take Seroquel 25mg a night, mainly to help me sleep but it helps keep my mood some what stable. I feel like I needed more of it, but worried it would make me too sleepy and I have to be able to work. So she is having me start the Seroquel XR. Took first dose tonight.

Has anyone tried or used Seroquel XR? Do you feel it worked better than the regular Seroquel?

It's been 10 years since I started treatment for mental health issues. It seems I find a medication cocktail that works for awhile, and then it stops working or the symptoms return. I try to not think that it's hopeless, that there has to be something that works. But if there isn't. What if this is as good as is gets. Ugh, got a bit off topic there. What I really was hoping to hear was if people found the Seroquel XR helped and the tiredness/sleepiness doesn't last through the next day.
