Hi FB,
The pristiq was added after the seroquel and was the turn around med. I had been on the seroquel for a few months and was a little less depressed while I was on it but not much. I don't know if it is dulling for sure but I sure felt dull as dirt on it before I added the pristiq. Maybe that was just my depression. Maybe it is a side effect of the med. My pdoc says most people don't like it, don't feel like themselves on it and that it is not a great AD. So I figured why not drop it. Maybe I'd feel better off it. I am, however, worried that it is doing something to stave off the depression and that I will find that out by decreasing it. As Larry Hoover pointed out, there is no untreated Zana out there to compare myself to. So I think we are left with trial and error. I don't want to destabilze myself but I also don't want to be taking something that I don't need and that may be downing me out.
Love.
