Right, Seroquel is an anti-psychotic. It's weird that I'm reacting so well to it because wouldn't an anti-psychotic be the opposite of an anti-depressant? Does that make any sense? I thought I experienced more depression than euphoria, but I guess if it's not broke, don't fix it. As for Ambien, after three nights it stopped working for me.
Anyway, John. I always cycled too, but not as rapidly as you. I think I never noticed any of my hypo-manic phases because that's how I wanted to feel all the time. The only time I ever went for help was when I was a crying, worthless, broke, suicidal, paranoid, depressed mess.
Fluffy, I don't think I ever experienced the cloudiness you had on Lexapro. The only thing I really remember, besides the freak out, was that coming off it was one of the worst experiences of my life. I had brain zaps, body zaps and achiness all day and I couldn't sleep. It took forever tapering off that drug. Never again.
On a lighter note, hope you all have a nice weekend!
Oh yeah John: You take 500mg of Seroquel? I would never be able to get up in the morning. Is that giving you the mood stabilization effects the doc says it will? If so, I guess it would be hard to isolate the effects of the Lamictal, ya know?
