Latuda worked great, but at 40 mg he was angry a lot. 20 mg worked ok for awhile, but then it only worked for a few hours a day(he had to take it at night). The Seroquel makes him very flat...and sleepy. We are feeling at the end of the medication train and I don't know what else to suggest he try. I know it is a little early to think about stopping the Seroquel, but it is exhausting watching him suffer. He has been on several antidepressants (before and with the ADs). Effexor was the only one that really worked long term..but then it too burned out. I would really appreciate any suggestions. Other than the Seroquel, he has been on the other meds long term - several years. Thanks!

> The road that your husband is on could lead to death. The drugs that you list are chemicals that have been developed as nerve agents that seize or grab the nerves that can increase or depress the entire nervous system and have been used to kill insects and rats and used in chemical warfare. The amphetamine as called Adderall, was used in both world wars to keep soldiers awake and can be addicting. Seroquel is what is developed from what is known as a dibenzo. That drug can increase suicidal thinking as one of the ways these drugs can kill your husband. It also will aggravate diabetes and could cause your husband to go into a diabetic coma as another way these drugs can kill your husband. The risk of seizures from the combination of Lamictal and Adderall could also result in your husband's death.
> You could continue to go to the psychiatrist/doctor that prescribes the concoction that your husband takes and continue to think that these drugs are "medicines". But what if your husband dies before the next combination of drugs is experimented on him?
> But it is much worse than that. The drugs can induce a a destroying of the brain cells and nervous system showing itself in the form of a hideous movement disorder that could never go away called akathisia and then tardive dyskinesia/dystonia.
> Thousands of people die each year from these drugs, many by suicide, heart attack, blood disease, liver and kidney failure, and confusion from disorientation that the drugs can induce. A person could go into a state where they do not what they are doing and I would keep your husband away from train stations subways, bridges and high cliffs and such.
> You could be influenced by people advocating for you to have your husband take this drug or that drug. But I say to you, be aware of false doctors, for they can come to you in sheep's clothing but could be ravening wolves.
