Right now I don't want to try any more tinkering with my meds. The last 2 weeks I feel like my depression has been lifting. I just had the Seroquel increased from 300 mg to 450 mg. The last time I tried reducing some of the meds (Seroquel and Cymbalta) it really messed me up. I was trying neurofeedback therapy for awhile, but my therapist thought I would be better served by doing a form of psychotherapy called Lifespan Integration Therapy. I've also talked a lot about my attachment issues with my therapist. I've developed transference issues in relation to my therapist, and have been quite open with her about that. We've been doing a fair bit of work around that. Thankfully she has been open to discussing that with me, even though I told her that my transference includes what feels like romantic feelings for her. I have about 7 or 8 more sessions with her, and we are meeting every other week, so that will take me into March, and she is giving me some journalling homework, so I will be working on some of this in between sessions.

However that being said, you are on quite a cocktail of different things..maybe you should talk about simplifying the regime..I know for my borderline an atypical antips..has helped..first abilify and now Geoden..I also take Prozac and that helps a ton with any depression or anxiety..sometimes the dose has to be alterated to see what fits you. Klonopin helps with occasional anxiety
It also may have to have talk therapy or psychotherapy...with us borderlines we need to really let out all that steam..insecurity, rage impulsiveness..all needs to come out somewhere but in a way that's healthy. also..meds don't work as well when we aren't getting the nutrients we need with them. Like your daily vitamins and minerals like zinc , even potassium vitamin D fish oil that stuff h elps a lot with your meds
