I知 currently on seroquel and have recently had symptoms again so we tried to add antidepressants but I have bad reactions to ssri medication. I知 already so tired of these moods. I知 frustrated. I知 getting close to being done again. I just want to hide. I feel so lonely.

I was able to address relatively quickly. What seemed to work for me is a broad prescription of a number of things with all the common drugs. Sleeping overnight is the key to my health so I began with Trazodone. Then Seroquel at night combined with Buspar. Buspar and Prozac each morning and an as needed anti anxiety pill which I take 1 or 2 times per week.
I also recently learned through other groups not to worry about the exact time of day AM versus PM. Meaning, my AM is 10 or 11 AM and my PM is 11 PM. Most importantly, I take twice per day. Skipping makes me slip.
It does help to journal or note the time of day of moods because I found that that was my best chance at determining what was impactful from a medication to mood correlation.
