Thank you for everyone who took the time to answer me. I agree that I am on a low dose of anafranil. I get lightheaded whenever I have tried to increase it. My thought is, like others here said, is to decrease my lithium (I am strictly depressive, no hypomania). Maybe then I could increase the anafranil without too many side effects.

My doctor is scared to decrease my lithium because he feels it is protective against suicidal thoughts. I'm not finding that it is stopping these thoughts, however, anyway.

Seroquel was given to me several years ago because I was having panic/derealization that was terrible to go through. Now, I am afraid to go off Seroquel for fear of these thoughts coming back. But I don't think it's doing me any good, really. I liken it to hitting me over the head with a large mallet. The effect would be the same.
It basically makes me sleep for 4 hours.

Anafranil has been the first drug that worked for me in several years. I agree with those who answered me here that the way to go is to try to decrease the other meds and increase the anafranil.

Thank you so much for your help and responses.

Roslynn
