> Welcome back a lot are away on vacation. Usually one med at a time. Don't blame you for being hesitant about the seroquel. What happened to have you doc decide that you again needed meds and the change of diagnosis? Phillipa
Thx Phillipa.
This is a new doc to me. I have spent the last 3 yrs moving & living in diff. locations. Over this time I have been unmedicated (my choice) or on Effexor XR (up to 225mg) prescribed and re-scripted by several primary care docs, as I moved around.
During this time I've alternated between a 3 month period of hypo-mania, anxiety/agitation (my usual state!), and 2 bouts of depression, which is where I am now. I am seeing a therapist here, who noted my current mood changes & suggested a pdoc.
I was very aggravated in my new pdoc's office, and also cried. As a result, pdoc said I had a mood disorder that needed stabilizing. He said I was presenting with depression/agitation now. I told him I was afraid of going hypo-manic again. Hence the new combo of drugs.How are you these days, Phillipa?
