I haven't been to this board for a long long time.
I now live in the US and a new psych doc. He appears to be treating me as Bipolar 2, rather than GAD as previously dx'd. I'm both very depressed (sadness/lethargy) and have inner agitation/anger.
Just prescribed Trileptal 300mg BID, Seroquel XR 50mg at night and Pristiq 50mg AM. This is a start and dosage will probably be changed later.
I took myself off Effexor XR 6 months ago after a very slow withdrawal. Unmedicated since then.
I'm afraid to take the Seroquel (never been on an anti-psychotic), but took it for the 1st time last night (3 days after being prescribed). Took the Trileptal (never been on a mood stablizer) at 150mg x2 per day at first, today will take the prescribed 300mg. Don't want to take Pristiq.
I'd like advice/opinion/comments on starting all 3 medications (all of which are new to me) at once, or close together.
I hate medications.
Thank you all.
