First Seroquel XR then Seroquel IR

Patients randomised to Seroquel XR will have treatment for 10-16 days and after that cross-over to treatment with Seroquel IR for 10-16 days

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Seroquel XR- quetiapine fumarate extended release

Intervention Type DRUG

Seroquel XR dose 400-700 mg (in tablet form). The investigator established the dosing schedule for each patient depending on the patient's dose when entering the study. The patients continued on the same dose during the study as they had prior to enrolment. Dose taken once a day for 10-16 days.

Seroquel IR - quetiapine fumarate

Intervention Type DRUG

Seroquel IR dose 400-700 mg (in tablet form). The investigator established the dosing schedule for each patient depending on the patient's dose when entering the study. The patients continued on the same dose during the study as they had prior to enrolment. Dose taken twice a day for 10-16 days.

Placebo matching Seroquel XR

Intervention Type DRUG

Placebo matching Seroquel XR dose 400-700 mg (in tablet form). Dose taken once a day for 10-16 days.

Placebo matching Seroquel IR

Intervention Type DRUG

Placebo matching Seroquel IR dose 400-700 mg (in tablet form). Dose taken twice a day for 10-16 days.
