I'm starting from scratch w/ meds.
I believe that lexapro is the only antidepressant that helps my depression (w/in 3-4 days), and actually allows me to focus and concentrate. All other ssris i can't even read a book with or understand what someone is saying to me.
But lexapro will put me into a mixed mood/irratability (BP II) after about a week or so.
Hopefully to counter this will be seroquel. This will help w/ my severe insomnia and racing thoughts that are constant. Seroquel on the other hand makes the adhd horrible. Then add a stimulant.So
lexapro+seroquel+dexedrine or ritalin.
All of these meds alone make one thing better, but other aspects much worse. So I'm hoping that combined might work out.
Regards,
Brian
