Adult Bipolar Mania

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if lithium 600-1800 mg/day is effective when added to quetiapine fumarate extended release (quetiapine XR or SEROQUEL® XR) 400-800 mg/day in treating acute mania and if so, how it compares with placebo (a non-active capsule, like a sugar pill, that looks like lithium).
