Hello all,

I'm pretty discouraged about my med situation. At first I was on 600 mg of tegretol, 10mg of cipralex and 200mg of Seroquel XR. I noticed myself becoming happier, and the depression was wearing off. Then it began wearing off TOO MUCH...I noticed symptoms of mania. So I told my doctor.

I wanted to be put on another mood stabilizer, like lithium, but he refused because I can be impulsive, and apparantly they're easier to commit suicide with. So he cut my anti-depressant in half and increased my seroquel to 250mg.

Today I woke up feeling tired and depressed. When will the balance ever arrive? When will I feel "normal"?
