First, if you have BP II, you certainly need mood-stabilizer, Anti-Depressant and plus anti-psycho-med that you listed all in your last post. However, currently you only taking Seroquel, ... or along with Ambien? Because, you stated, those M.S. and Anti-dep. in the past phrase, ... 'I was on .....'
Furthermore, only 'sleep-good' can not be Bipolar symptoms under control. You certainly need at least two meds., mood-stabilizer and anti-depressant. Ambien is sleep-aid in general whether you have BP or not.
In my knowledge based on my personal experience, Anti-psycho.med. has definitely positive effect to Bipolar symptoms, because of 'boosting effect' to other meds. In my case, I can cut down other two meds. M.S.and anti-dep. almost in half, but that takes with time. At least, until you feel some benefit from taking meds.
It's truly frustrating to know that we, Bp need all those meds., but only meds. have been keeping me almost normal, ... even though once awhile my Bp symptoms flares-up under stress and other unexpected events.
