Hi Curiosity77, thank you. I didn't know that there were newer ones, like seroquel was one of the first ones. This will sound strange, as it does to me too.

Okay, but my psychiatrist, that I must have had now for about 7? years, has only ever diagnosed me with major depression. I was diagnosed as manic depressive (not told so, but found out much later from my sister) at about 21 years old. I do know at that time it felt like I was bipolar (years later finding out exactly what the symptoms are of it), and then being pregnant, and other times of huge stress, I had some psychosis, so again, I wasn't told, but nosyed through my files and saw the "bipolar with schizo-affective".

I haven't had any episodes for many years, I only took seroquel for these last ?5 to 6, I'm guessing at 25 mg. i asked for it from my gp first, to help me with sleep. Before that, I was on antidepressants only and doing well on them alone. I just couldn't handle the nausea and anxiety from them. Did have a few episodes years ago while on an antidepressant, which also seems to prove I must be bipolar.

So, anyways, my point being this pychiatrist isn't much help. I even asked for adderall xr once, because I told him I've tried a-z of antidepressants and can't tolerate them. He just gives me whatever I want to try.

A few months later, i checked in with my gp, and he was shocked that I was given them in the first place, because of my high blood pressure, he said I could have had a heart attack. So obviously I quit them immediately.

Yes I've had a heart test done, this must be going on 5 years ago, and they detected my heart skipping beats, but didn't say there was anything to worry about.

Thank you for your questions. I really need to get to see the psychiatrist, and I want a specialist for diabetes to help (believe it or not, the doctor never pushed for me to see one, they aren't too bright here in Canada, and don't care if you try to see specialists, you usually have to wait more than 3 months, even if its an urgent matter.)
