I am on Trileptal and Effexor for bi-polar disorder and I don't know about the Seroquel, but if it's said to make you drowsy, take it before bed, as you likely already know!
The Trileptal totally makes me LOOOOOPY. I take it about half an hour before I'd like to be asleep. It's wonderful, cause I don't think I've ever NOT had trouble falling asleep before I've been on this, and I sleep very well, though not like in a stupor.
I am glad that you went to the Dr. and that you are medicated again.
I really think, as another bi-polar person, that at the VERY least, a mood stabilizer is essential for living your life happily and productively. The anti-d, perhaps you will be able to leave off of, eventually, but the mood stabilizer, from everything I know, is definately the most important part of managing bi-polar disorder.
I hope this works out well for you, Lori!
