Okay, a few things.
I have tried SSRIs before (for anxiety) and had some mood issues while on it... particularly a sort of hypomania. I have been on the following antipsychotics: - Zyprexa (for mania- I think sedation was why I stopped) - Abilify (as mood stabilizer- not covered by insurance) - Seroquel (for mood and anxiety- effective and sedating but just tolerable) - Seroquel XR (for mood and anxiety- way too sedating; could not continue) - Risperdal (mood and anxiety; not much help) - Seroquel again (*current*) (Note: I am on Fluanxol for anxiety, which helps a bit) I see the following as possibilities: 1) Try an AP I have not tried yet (Geodon, Invega, Latuda...) 2) Try an older AP maybe? 3) Higher dose of Fluanxol? 4) Try higher dose of mood stabilizer + a dose of an SSRI which has to be monitored (I have heard that some psychiatrists do this) 5) A different antidepressant (SNRI, MAOI etc.) What do you guys think? Any advice is appreciated!

I've heard positive things about Latuda but have not been prescribed this medication so I can't speak from personal experience. I recommend telling a psychiatrist what you've taken before and the side effects you've had, and hopefully he/she can figure something out. Good luck!

what dose of Seroquel are you on? if youre on a low dose raising its dose may help. Seroquel is famously effective for anxiety and depression.

So far, Seroquel works best, but the fact that I can hardly wake up in the morning is beyond annoying.

Try to add Calmax to that. It’s natural, has no side effects, and helps greatly in cases like yours.
