i was on seroquel 25 mg to sleep. but it works very short, i wake up very early. now i use 7.5mg mirtazapine for sleep and i sleep like a baby, but a bit too long. i sleep 11 hours or more. i hope the escitalopram will work soon. monday i see my pdoc again to talk about effects/sideeffects (which i hardly have)

Dx: Mix anhedonia with Bipolar II. Add some insomnia and chronic stress. Season with paroxetine and a pinch of ADD. Stir well to induce a couple of hypo/manic episodes. After the excess of energy is gone, remove the Paroxetine and serve chilled with some C-PTSD and GAD. Ready is your MDD.
Mx: To clean up the mess use lamotrigine, risperidon, mirtazapine and sertraline. Let it soak in for a while but keep a close eye on it. Meanwhile enjoy your desert of oxazepam/temazepam prn.
