Brenna

515d

My next appointment with my psychiatrist is in December. He is notoriously terrible at returning calls and just waiting until the next appointment to speak to me. I’m on alprazolam, lamotrigine, and triazolam. In the last month my depression has spiraled into this constant state of sadness and/or anger. On top of that, I went from getting regularly 8-9 hours of good sleep a night to about 5 hours of crap sleep. So mix the two and it’s a crap show. I’m going to call and beg and see if they will add ?Maybe Seroquel? back into the mix or do something. I don’t remember feeling so unstable but I do remember the sleep while taking seroquel. I don’t really know what to do. I’m at my wits end and exhausted. My roommates can’t stand me. I’m just at a loss. Especially if I have to try to sit through this another month.

      I have anxiety, bipolar 1 with mixed episodes, and OCD primarily. I think my dr cares about his patients, he’s just an older man and he has a private practice, runs the only short term rehab/mental health facility in town, and runs an outpatient program. Does the depakote help? Any negative side effects? Thank you for responding ❤️

        @Brenna it helped me. I was actually on lithium first and it was absolutely incredible! I don’t remember why they switched my meds but the depakote/ seroquel combo works too

      Hi! I don’t know what mental disorder you are dealing with but the doctor proscribed seroquel to me along with depakote. It worked well. I’d find a new doctor if this one isn’t taking you seriously.
