In reply to Re: Questions! - Depakote + caffeine; Seroquel » PM80, posted by Ritch on May 4, 2005, at 12:52:17
I started on Seroquel as a monotherapy first for about 4 months. It was great for my anxiety(panic attacks) and hypomania, but I was left with all or more of my depression. I would wake up feeling sad - and I'm normally a morning person(happy and perky). Sometimes I would spend an entire afternoon in bed letting the hours pass me by. What-difference-does-it-make kind of feeling. Things still sometimes felt surreal. I cut myself almost every night. Almost none of these symptoms were new to me, but they were more chronic on seroquel. Then Depakote was added and, wow, big difference from day 1. Depakote has never once had a sedating affect on me. My depression is much improved, mostly gone except sometimes if I drink a lot. If anything Depakote seems to have a stimulating effect on me.
