hey everyone I haven't been on in a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG time, I had a baby last december and it was definitely before that. anyway tl;dr version, my baby was/is extremely high maintenance and the lack of sleep sent me into a bad depression which I of course thought I could get myself out of. I ended up going mixed, being very very depressed while also having severe anxiety and rage, being unable to sleep at night due to waking up panicking with my heart racing, etc. which of course all culminated in my pdoc doubling my lamictal and also putting me on seroquel XR and trileptal at least for a few months to get me out of this hole, then we will reevaluate.

can anyone tell me what to expect with these meds. also how long does the tiredness from the seroquel last? it knocked me on my *** last night which was kind of nice because I finally got a good night's sleep but doc said to take at 6 pm and it should make me sleepy around 10...well I was having trouble keeping my eyes open within the hour of taking it. also felt groggy/hungover until about noon today. normal? does it get better?
