> are you feeling any better? Did you change the Seroquel to something else? How's your sleep?
> It's not very good to not know how those different drugs effect you when you take them altogether and haven't taken them seperately before I guess.. I for myself didn't like Seroquel (got very irritable and moody) and I got tolerant to the sedative effect after 10days. After that I tried nortriptyline, which was way better, but I didn't like the feel of it either :(
> Although not a good antidepressant I like trazodone MUCH more for sleep and it's enough for me (20mg Parnate) for now to let me sleep normally.. in fact I seem to be sleeping better than before when I was on ssris when I had to take >150mg trazodone in order to sleep..

> GOOD LUCK!!!hey thanks for your concern. Seroquel was a bust - if i used it for more than 3 days in a row, i'd get the worse sinus-like headaches that lasted all day. i also think it makes me more irritable, and stopped working as a sleep aid anyway. right now i'm using temazepam and zopiclone but growing tolerant to those as well.
i've seen no improvements on Parnate and am going to stop. nortriptyline has never helped me sleep in the past, so i don't see it breaking through the insomnia of Parnate; i also get 'dumb drug' effects on it. unfortunately, trazodone is not available in my country, so i can't use that. i just don't see myself ever sleeping on Parnate. if there were some positive effects, i might try think my way around it, but i feel way more aggressive and depressed. i'm thinking of switching back to Nardil.
sorry, don't mean to be a downer. hope your trial's going well :)
