As some of you have already read, I have been trying to taper my dose of seroquel from 150mg at bedtime to whatever. I got to 100mgs and crashed-weeping, despondent.
I keep feeling I am on too many meds and that my feelings of deadness and dullness are medication induced. But when I try to reduce anything, my depression comes galloping back. I gave it a week on 100mgs of seroquel and all week I got progressively worse even though when I was taking just remeron and seroquel I was still very depressed. So I didn't think the seroquel was doing me much good and might be dulling me down.
Do I have to feel so deadened to stave off the depression? Is the deadness part of the depression that's not being treated?
I could try to taper the remeron. I take 45mgs at bedtime. It gave me no AD benefit when I was on it alone. But my pdoc says it's supposed to be a good combination with pristiq. Should I try to drop out the resperadone? It didn't feel like it did anything when I started it- good or bad. Could it be dulling me?
I am so dishearted and confused.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
