I'm only on two, seroquelXL and lamotrigine... In the past I've been on over a dozen different anti depressants, and none of them worked. Some of them did nothing, one of them made me manic. But I was on lamotrigine before seroquel, and it actually had an anti depressant effect without sending me over the edge. At that time I was on rispiridone which helped with the psychosis, but the side effects were not just awkward, but potentially dangerous. The seroquel has a similar anti psychotic effect, without causing my body to go way out of whack.

I'm going to have to talk to the doctor on Monday though... I'm having great difficulty staying awake mornings, when I have to be up and do things. Some days I just give up and stay in bed.

It is however better than being psychotic.
