I also feel very tired all day. Did your antidepressants help you to get your energy back or did you have to take any stimulant?

Yes I'm totally off them now. Quetiapine has helped my depression, better than I could ever imagine. I'm still recovering, but feeling much better than a few months ago.
My antidepressants didn't really help me. I was on a low dose of Lexapro, it didn't help my depressive symptoms when I took it with a mood stabilizer, and when it finally did (I was taking it with quetiapine later), it caused me hypomanic symptoms.
