> > > This is my first post, so I hope I'm in the right area of the forum. My daughter (13) HAS MDD, and is complaining of mood swings. She was hospitalized as she was consumed with thoughts of suicide 70% of the time. She was given ZOLOFT 100mg, and SEROQUEL (has been on up to 300 mg - but is now down to 50mg) The drop in SEROQUEL made her mood swings severe, and she was cutting more than ever. At higher levels of Seroquel, she'd walk into walls, and not fully wake-up until afternoon. She seems stabilized at 50mg, but is still having some mood swings, not sleeping well, and the suicidal thoughts remain at 10%. (which is remarkable, as she's only been on meds for about 3 mos.)

> > > If anyone can shed any light on this combination, and what it might do for her??... i.e. is remeron better than seroquel for MDD with mood swings, insomnia, etc.. She says she doesn't have anxiety, but the pdoc maintains that her depression has been the worst she's seen in her medical career.

> > If you continue with what you are doing to your child, she could be dead today or tomorrow or maybe some day after that. You see, the chemicals that you are drugging your daughter with, in collaboration with a psychiatrist, have the potential to cause death via what is known as serotonin syndrome, as one way those drugs could kill her. But it is much more than that. I am prevented from posting here what IMHHHO could save your daughter's life, prevent life-ruining conditions or addiction due to prohibitions posted to me here by Mr Hsiung. So I am prevented from shedding the light that IMHHHO could heal your daughter. You could go to the administrative board here and review post by me and see years of outstanding requests/notifications from me to Mr Hsiung and his deputy now and his past deputies. I think that by you doing that, you could have your psychiatrist email me and I could advise him/her and then he/she could relay that to you.

Your mention of suicide thoughts here by your daughter is something that I need to warn you about. You see, taking these drugs together increases suicidal thinking.
