Hello owen2110,
Thanks for your question.

Well I hate to be to overly optimistic as I felt this well in October and I jumped into the old habit of working until I dropped.

And looking back I may have been depressed a few years before I could not cope. I always just thought I was tired....and I would try to work harder. Made sense at the time.

This time with 100mg Pristiq, 300mg of Wellbrutrin, in the morning, 2 times a day .25 clonazepam, and 75 mg Seroquel for sleep. I felt a remarkable shift in mood two weeks after two weeks going from 150 wellbrutrin to 300mg.

My pdoc is newer to me and she only changes one thing at a time, so I am in in my second month of this combination. I am still sleeping 11 hours with naps during the day as needed.

Now that my mood feels neutral my anxiety is rising, so here comes the pacing. I can not make up for the lost time.
Sometimes it takes awhile before I check PC, as too much of a good thing is still stressful at this time.

Next meeting with my pdoc, I will ask about SAD, as in the last two years the depression flared-up in Nov-Dec. I am scared of a return, as I am just getting some memory, decision making, interest in life, and myself back.

I hope you find your path to health, do not give up.
Thanks for this!
