> I have TRD, Treatment Resistant Depression OR Anxious Depression. I’m taking the AD, (40mgs)Cymbalta with the Antipsychotic, (800mgs)Seroquel. The Seroquel is only for the severe anxiety. I am not delusional or psychotic. It just helps with the extreme agitation that I feel. Shouldn't Seroquel make me more depressed? Does this make sense? If so, tell me why? Can I just take Seroquel only when I need it; like a tranquilizer? Or should I take it daily like my other meds?

I don't know why an antipsychotic would make you more depressed. Can you explain? I would like to know, because I take Zyprexa for anxiety. It really helps. I take it at bedtime because it is sedating.

I used to have a sort of baseline anxiety that was there all the time. It took a long time for me to accept taking benzos every day, but even when I did they didn't help as much as a small dose of Zyprexa at night.
