Hi Camille:
Upon having read one more time in your previous post below, ... I feel that the atypical med. might NOT be a good choice for your symptoms. ....
>>> Unfortunately, Seroquel is not working for me either. I tried it before and the sedating effect was way too strong and it didn't stop the visual hallucinations and it made me feel sluggish.<<<
Then, you'd be better to stick to the increase of the 'Effexor.' As you might know, those med., Seroquel, Zyprexa, Risperdal and several new ones are designed for 'schizo.' Since your problem is NOT related to either shizo. or Bipolar, then the chemical/formularity does not fit into the lack of your chemical in the brain.
This is just in my guess tho', in order to work GOOD, there needs 'good balance, interaction and harmony' among/between meds. you've been on. Thus, 'trial and error' is unavoidable.In my suggestion now is to try to go on 'the increase of Effexor,' that is 300 mg, ... in my recollection. And, if this won't give you any 'trick,' then probably call to see a doctor you've been seeing.
Good Luck!!!
H.G.
