Hospitalized, new meds, etc.

Well... tuesday night my depression got to a point that it was simply unbearable - I could not put up with it any longer. I was not suicidal, however I did attempt to harm myself a few times, and became very agitated/agressive. So, I wound up in the hospital wednesday morning, voluntarily. Stayed until this afternoon. My previous med combo of
Effexor 225 mg/day
Risperdal 0.5 mg/day
has been changed to
Effexor 225 mg/day
Anafranil 25 mg/day
Seroquel 100mg/day
Xanax 0.5 mg as needed
I'm definitely feeling much better, tonight in fact, I kinda felt like my old self again. My sense of humor and playfulness were back. I don't know if it's the meds already doing something or what... but it is encouraging. Obviously things aren't going to snap back to normal immediately, but I think I'm on the right track. Hopefully, the added Anafranil will help with the OCD - the depression, anxiety, etc all stem from the OCD in the first place in a way. It's also comforting to know I have Xanax around if I happen to need it.
It's odd though, as I was adding supplements to my daily regimen, my condition seemed to worsen. I'm assuming it is only a coincidence, but now I'm scared to start taking any supplements again.
