for the last year i have been prescribed prozac 60mg and im still so dam depressed, told gp this so much and she will not change my meds. All i seem to do is sleep im on 30mg diazipan a day for my anxiety, which has helped a bit, quetiapine 400mg a day. been on them all for so long and i just sleep and when i get up im either feeling so lonley and empty or so crabit. With all them tabs its also ment to help with my self harm which it doesnt. can you get side affects after so long

If you are seeing an Internist (Family Doctor) you may want to consider going to a specialist. In this case it would be a Psychiatrist. They will most likely have more answers for you about anti-depressants and perhaps would change your dosage or go to a new med.

Maybe its the 30mgs of diazepam (valium) very sedating...thats
quite abit..? You ever think of seeing someone who can see you every 2 weeks or atlease once a month..? Plus Prozac makes some people sleepy to. 6omgs seems to be alot usual dose is 20mg atleast to start...? Although I know someone who is on 60 of prozac and she has no problems, but isn't on Diazepam or the other one quetiapine? Haven't heard of that one...

Ok I had to look it up, but quetiapine is Seroquel. Seroquel is known to make people drowsy. What time of day do you take it? You could take that one at night, before bed. Then you may not be as tired during the day.
Are you in therapy too, or just meds? Have you considered therapy? I feel your pain on the waiting list issue...such a pain in the arse.

it sounds like you are in the uk but i might be wrong
hubbys doc wont change his meds as he is under psychartist with the mental health team, he was on diazapam short term his gp managed to get him off it as soon as she could as the diazapam was making him vague and tierd

the diazapam has really helped me to be honest im no longer as scared to go out and i had a twitch and grunt thing going on, still there but not as bad. yep im in the uk and just found out my shrink had left and a guy has replaced her, thats gonna be gppd esp talking about the abuse and my g.p is also leaving the practise in a month and i swaer i sat and cryed to her like a huge kid lol, As the Seroquel ( quetiapine) goes i take that 3 times a day, 100 in morning 100 in evening and 200 at night. I just feel like im in a dam hole and cant seem to get out it.
