in 2002 i took phentermine and i told the dr i was taking paxil. the two meds did not mix. i had thoughts of hurting my youngest son. i went to mhmr and they put me on celexa 20 mg and it worked fine but i gained a lot of weight so i went to zoloft 50mg and it worked for 2 years and then it stopped. so i was put on effexor xr 75 mg and risperdal the effexor made my blood pressure go up and risperdal made me wake up with up a headache. so i went to another dr and he put me on lexapro 10mg and seroquel. the lexapro made me moody and serooquel is working ok. i need another antidepressan or do u recommend a tricyclic drug. i wonder do i have psychotic depression. im not sure. i love my son so much. he lives with my parents. i need some suggestions

Hi chand,
I don't have any specific recommendations for you. I'm sorry about that; I can hear that you are struggling.I just wanted to give a friendly hint. You don't need to start a new thread each time you want to post about this subject. You can keep posting in a thread you already started, and your post will still show as new post and will be noticed by others.
Regards,
gg

I know, that sounds kinda flip, but it's not meant that way.
I have a terrible habit, shared by a good friend, of trying to diagnose and come up with a treatment for everything I see a doctor for. Before being willing to see a doctor about, say, a rash, I'll have to do a lot of research and try to figure out what sort of rash it is, and what might cause it, and what to ask for to treat it -- all before seeing the doctor. It's a bad habit, most of the time, because it's trying to do the doctor's job.
I'm working hard right now to ask the doctor what he thinks, before telling him what I think. It's very hard for me, because I feel a bit helpless asking him something when I don't know the answer, but he does know more than I do, and I might miss out on an awful lot just by going in there 'knowing' what I'm going to ask for.
If you're looking for advice, though, you said that the Seroquel was working for you? But Lexapro isn't working out? How about trying Prozac? It's more activating an SSRI, more like Zoloft, so if the one worked for you, the other might work, too.
Good luck.
