Seeing the nurse practitioner tomorrow and going to try Seroquel again. I'm desperate. I can't seem to find any info on whether extended release of immediate-release is better for this debilitating depression, anxiety, and insomnia. Any info or advice would be much appreciated.

Hi chels. I don't have any advice on these specific meds, but I wanted to offer my support. I am newly affected at age 38 and it is a lot to process after living so long without these types of issues. You seem to be digging in and doing what you can to find meds that can work for you. I hope you find the right mix to allow the depression to ease up soon. Hugs.
