Seroquel is an anti-psychotic. I am wondering why your doc has given it to you for depression. Have you been diagnosed with schizphrenia or bipolar? Just wondering.
I haven't taken it but I read about it and know someone for whom it has done wonders. I hope it helps you soon but if the wellbutrin worked, why did your doc take you off it??
I know, I'm not helping but I just was curious about why you're on it. Twll me to mind my own business if you like.
I do hope you feel better soon though.
Hugs
Tina> I'm taking 100mg. seroquel at night for anxiety and depression. I am feeling extremely tired during the day--I don't feel like doing anything. I take a nap and I still feel tired. I am still bombarded with negative thoughts and this lack of energy makes it difficult to shift from negative to positive thinking. I've been on the meds about 1 week. Started with 25 mg. and worked up gradually to 100mg--the dose I've been at for the last 4 nights. Will this tiredness go away eventually? The med has reduced my anxiety some, but I still feel very depressed--how long does it take for its antidepressant properties to work? Any feedback would be appreciated. I feel like I'm going through hell--I've been either very depressed or anxious for about a year now. I was on Welbutrin and Lithium before this---Lithium Knocked me out to--but the welbutrin counteracted that some--I think I was doing somewhat better on that combo, than on this. I tend to react very strongly to everything so my dr. is trying to be careful about what she puts me on. I'm having trouble getting any work done, because I feel so depressed.
