It's nice to know that other people can identify with you...Did Seroquel numb or dampen you at all?
I will say that the first time I was on Effexor, I felt really well. It did take care of the GAD. Now I'm on it again and it's not working the same way. The SSRI's that I've tried didn't work very well either. Effexor can really pull you out of the dumps if you are suicidally depressed. It's good, but it doesn't cover all the bases for me anymore. I've thought about Seroquel instead of Lamictal. I want something that has a calming effect.
