thanks, daveyjones! i don't think we've bumped into each other before, so nice to meet you!

i think i must be super sensitive to drugs, or something . seroquel got my body so heated up that i passed out, and couldn't be roused for 15hrs. i finally woke up, had some water, and slept it over for another 12. GRAH!!!

i hate hearing about all these good meds and all of them pooping out on me.

i've also tried epilim and lamictal. no side effects on those, but no gains either. i struggle with the depression side, and lamictal helped a bit, but not enough as a standard anti-depressant.

have also tried all the atypical antipsychotics, hoping they might provide relief as a mood stabiliser. so far, no real luck. zyprexa is good when i'm agitated, but i'm not agitated when i'm depressed. abilify did help a bit, but i need it to augment a good antidepressant first - so need to track one down .

so i think i might be venturing back into the older antidepressants class soon. i'm reluctant, but whatever works, right?
