300 mg of seroquel and the world is looking a little brighter.
Not as bright as I'd like it to be....I'm still mostly feeling crappy, although the suicidal form of crappy hasn't popped up yet today. I'm seeing my doctor on Monday, and he might start me on a low dose of zoloft for my leftover depression and anxiety - especially the social anxiety, nothing has ever made that better, even if it treated my other anxiety. I'll have to be monitored closely for manic reactions, but hopefully the seroquel will keep a lid on that.
I'm not giving or dispensing medical advice. Just keeping you all posted, if you care. Oh yes, and feel free to share your experiences, if you wish.
Yes, please.

1. what other antidepressants have you tried?
I'm on Cymbalta and Welbutrin. They take the edge off, but I'm not seeing the results I'd like. I also have an eating disorder and my doctor thinks I just lack self control. Pisses me off, I tell you.
Try Swellbutrin, for when you want to feel really swell.

3. I've been a crazy person for 17 years
And I think the best advice I can give you regarding this is to stay in treatment. Don't hesitate to switch doctors if you need to or to ask for different medication, but stick with the program. I've been certifiably sane for the last 6.5 years and what I just wrote is the biggest reason why.
Not so fast there, Sparky.
The obligatory point-and-laugh nexus:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x9229649How do such monumental egos come laden with such inferiority complexes? It seems to be an unresolvable paradox but I'm convinced the truth is near at hand.
If I were a religious rabbit I would say their seeking to supplant God found them in a throne far too expansive for their tiny hinies (even for the plentitude of obese ones). They want to be masters of the universe but they found the universe too vast and hostile to contend with. God or no, they definitely have apotheotic aspirations.
One should be careful for what one wishes for.
