I understand that you are taking Quetiapine 50 mg for bipolar disorder. However, this is generally a low dose and may not be sufficient for maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder.
Please do not stop or change the dose of this medication on your own. It is important to consult your psychiatrist for a proper assessment of your current treatment and to determine the appropriate maintenance dose.

You haven't stated why you were taking Quetiapine. Such low dose suggests it might have been prescribed for sleep and not for core features of a Bipolar episode. But would need more history and evaluation.
