Need opinion of the med experts here

Posted by greywolf on September 23, 2008, at 18:52:01

I have been diagnosed with refractory depression, bipolar disorder (II) and OCD. The depression has become very severe, and I have experienced elevated anxiety. This, in turn, has increased the intensity and frequency of my OCD behaviors (in their multitudes).

While I am awaiting VNS surgery in a couple weeks, I am taking the following medications:

Abilify 10mg/day

Remeron 30mg/day

Xanax .5 mg (5x/day)

Seroquel 100/mg (as needed for primarily sleep purposes)

Deplin (L-methylfolate) to augment the above.

First, I'd love to know if anyone believes Deplin is truly helpful since it runs $59 per scrip and it's not covered by insurance. Second, I don't like the Seroquel at all (and avoid taking it), and I'm thinking of dropping it completely. Problem is that the anxiety problems aren't effectively controlled at night by the Remeron and Xanax (which might be partially the fault of the Abilify).

Anyway, was just wondering what the med experts here have to say/suggest. Anything would be helpful.

Thanks.
