Hi,
Still on 100 mg Seroquel but cutting back on Cymbalta since I don't think it's doing anything but making me lightheaded and dizzy, at least that's what I think has happened.
I'm thinking that the quick response I had to seroquel might be used to pull someone out of a major depression which usually doesn't happen soon enough with an AD.
Just for my own feeling of security, I would use an AP (antipsychotic) instead of say, ECT, which I had almost tried in the past when my feeling of despair were so great, there was no time to wait for an AD to work.
I'm not sure that the Seroquel as a MONOTHERAPY will be enough, but at least I'm functional (eating...sleeping...able to leave the house without fear). The fine tuning will probably begin once I'm off Cymbalta. I was only on 30 mg, so it may only take a week to come off. Then, if necessary, we may add Wellbutrin first, and if no improvement, perhaps try Ensam, but you know how that goes with a 2 week washout....
