> I am currently taking nothing for a major depression I've had for over a year. The problem I have with AD's is many of them give me racing thoughts. I'm seeing my pdoc tomorrow, anyone have a suggestion as what to try next. I also have trouble with sleep. I was thinking of suggesting zyprexa or seroquel. Both of these drugs make me extremely lazy and I have a high energy job.
The first and MOST important thing that needs to be addressed is getting your sleep cycle regulated. Zyprexa or Seroquel are good drugs for sleep. After this is somewhat stable, then you can introduce an AD if you are having residual depression and less motivation. However, start low and go slow with your dosing to prevent the racing thoughts from returning. Good Luck. :)
