I've been on effexor xr and seroquel for MDD and GAD for six weeks now, titrating the doses of both slowly. A couple of weeks ago I thought I was turning a corner, feeling somewhat better.

And then...boom...I got two bouts of bad news. Some bad news health news about a family member I am extremely close to, and then another piece of bad news about another.

Ever since I got those two pieces of bad news, I am a wreck again. I don't know what this means about the efficacy of my meds. I feel like I keep getting kicked over and over.

I go back to the pdoc in two weeks. I am so tired and weary.
