Increase for anxiety and depression

[Benjammin69]

Hi :-)

My psych is currently trying to stabilise me after a relapse in my depression and anxiety,i have been on 45mg mirt and 100mg quetiapine for a few weeks but still experiencing high levels of fish so my psych has today increased my 100mg to 150mg - other than the usual 'weight gain' etc what can I expect from the increase? Will it reduce my anxiety? Also will it stabilise my mood? Currently I'm up one day and down the next :-)

Thanks

It may help with anxiety and mood, but I don't rate either of the meds you're taking for anxiety and depression. Imho, there are far better options. I think you should get a second opinion.

So first day down and when I woke up I needed to go back to bed for a nap till 10am, managed to get out, go swimming, went shopping and only now is my anxiety getting. Unmanageable when it's time for my dose... I'll update with day 2 of 15g XR seroquel tomorrow
