It's been a long long time since I've posted here... and my lifes been rather a tad bit of a roller-coaster.

After having broken up with my ex BF of 8 months back in Feb, and moving back to MA from SC, I've finnally been able to snag a soft grip back onto reality. After having some BS happening to me involving a **** councling center and MA health, I've opted to get insurance from my job and decided to go back to my old Pci-doc I had here back in october.

Sad thing was it didn't even occur to me to bother asking her if she had any appts for me beforehand and I could have been trying to get better that much sooner :(

Anywho, I told her my anxiety was getting real bad, to the point of me having several attacks a day. Mostly triggered by stress or anger, tho usually just out of the blue.

Since I had a bad relapse while on cymbalta back in December that landed me briefly in the mental hosp back in SC, she decided to put me on Celexa, said it would help with my anxiety.

It's been a week and a half now, and currently my insomnia is worsening, as well as my anxiety. I notice tho that my threshold "caps" if you would, where I don't go into full on attacks, just it feels like my overall level is higher. She also suggested, and had me try a trial of seroquel 25mg a night to see if that would help me sleep.

Seems it does.... but heres the kicker and the reason why I'm posting:

Ive been having mood swings mostly towards the depressed side ((but with rapid thinking hmm.... wtf is that supposed to be)) before I went on celexa, I'm still having them but when I do take seroquel the night before I'm much better the day after..... I've decided to make sure to tell my pdoc about this, at my next apt this coming thurs ((I had a brain cramp and forgot to tell her about my mood swings prior, save the bit about what happend to me in december))

I know seroquel is an anti-psychotic, I was actually on geodon for a brief time in jan. ((the doc's in SC thought I was bipolar, but my current one doesn't think so)) and its supposed to keep me from having rapid thoughts... but I just can't tell anymore where depression ends and anxiety begings, or if/when I'm having hypo mania :(

Cookie,

How are you doing on the Celexa and Seroquel now?

I'm taking the same. 40Mg Celexa daily and 2x25Mg Seroquel.

The Celexa was sort of working a bit but before I started taking Seroquel I still had anxiety/racing thoughs etc. Funnily enough, I got the impression that whenever I took a Sero tab I felt better an hour or so later. Its as if it chilled me out.

Not even sure if seroquel is even supposed to have this 'immediate' effect so it could be placebo affect.... LOL.
