Yes, my daughter's current pdoc told me to do what I wanted to do (literally - she also told me to consult my daughter) concerning the following options:

- add Remeron to her Zoloft and go off Seroquel
- taper off Seroquel, and give Zoloft alone
- Keep current Zoloft/Seroquel combo

She knows we really didn't like the Remeron at all, or the Seroquel long term. She offered no other alternatives, and left me w/ my head spinning. I'm no doctor, what the heck should I do? I knew what to do - get another pdoc! She starts w/ an intake next week.... but no appt. yet for pdoc.

I spoke with my own pdoc, and she said that she needed to be treated for bi-polar, which her current pdoc still hasn't given a definitive diagnosis thereof. (current pdoc has been seen for about 2 months now)

My daughter's mood swings and insomnia are the most concerning right now. She was very depressed with mood swings to begin with - most notably, the depression, and suicidal ideation (and cutting). While an inpatient, she was given Seroquel 1st - bringing her up to 300mg (to zero-out the obsession with suicide, and for sleep) Then added 50 mg Zoloft.....

I just don't know what to do in the meantime. (This pdoc told me to do what I wanted, not only once, but twice, so I will not consult her again)

Thanks - Laura
