Seroquel regular vs. Seroquel XR

I have always taken regular release Seroquel, 450mg at bedtime for a few years now. My new psych dr wants me to try Seroquel XR - extended release. I have been having problems with my anxiety disorder - panic attacks which are new, and with my moods cycling rapidly. I am not keen on taking the Xanax for anxiety, but I do when absolutely necessary. She said that some people have reported an anti-anxiety effect that carries through into the daytime when the Seroquel XR is taken at bedtime.

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with Seroquel XR, and specifically, how it worked compared to regular release Seroquel.

I should add that my depressive symptoms with the rapid cycling have gotten pretty serious. I just was wondering if Seroquel XR would help with that part of the BP 1, as well.
