hi, i want to write down to my doctor on a note the following:
400 mg seroquel evening
20 mg seroxat
15 mg uni tranxene PM before bedtime
10 mg memantinethe seroquel will cause unpleasant side effects but might cure my psychosis or just kill me, i hope that by god, i get relief
the memantine is new for me, maybe i should wait until i get some psychosis improvement by high dose seroquel?
side effects from seroquel: seizures falling down, weight gain, tachardia attacks last for 1 hour, pooped out effect on mood

Whatever you do, I like the idea of adding an antidepressant. I'm glad you are looking at that. I would have preferred a TCA such as Nortriptyline or Amitriptyline, for the anticholinergic and antihistamine effects in addition to the other stuff they do, over the one you chose. But hey, I think it is long past due time to think outside the box and try new stuff. You are doing that and I am happy for you.
I would hold off on the memantine. One thing at a time. I think it takes lower priority than the others. Just an opinion though.

Jeroen could you have a seizure disorder? I think writing the note to the doc is a good idea. He can then discuss it with you. Still in hospital? Love Phillipa

Do you need the seroquel or is Abilify enough?
