I moved a little bit out of this depression im in. My life is just a bit more pleasant right now. I made a few posts on the faith forum that sounded a lot worse than what i have to say now.
Im on 300 mgs of Seroquel, they are testing my kidney and thyroid for potential Lithium therapy. I hope this curbs out some of the suicidal thoughts and mellow everything out a little bit. I feel some agressiveness at times a bit. Also i hope this will help against depression also without making me manic or anything. Dont plan to go very high in the dosage though,
The hospital complies with my goals.The only APs i havent tried yet are sulpirid and amisulpirid. Dont know if i will. So far Seroquel is the best out of all the others. The Seroquel seems to give me frequent urination which is a bit of a bummer and it makes my erections less hard. Maybe this will lessen over time idk. I noticed an improvement of 300 over 200 of seroquel, but no further improvement with 400. If it bothers me too much i will ask for 250 i guess.
Right now all they have given me is Effexor... but i dont really like reuptake inhibitors much at all.
I want to try Moclobemide Seroquel and Lithium. But i will see with the hospital staff if this would be better for me than Effexor Seroquel and Lithium.
Everything mellowed out a bit, i have better compliance with treatment and listen to the doctors a little more.. And i try to further mellow things out so i have a stable and good mood trajectory in life. I tried alot of stuff in the past years and now were working to combine the best drugs i have had.
I realize that irreversible Maois may be superior to Moclobemide for depression, but i dont think they are for Schizo-Affective since they raise Dopamine significantly. I really have an equal mix of Depressive and psychotic symptoms here, so treatment need not exasperate one or the other. I think Moclobemide is still a good Med and superior to most reuptake inhibitors honestly.
Nardil was sure the best on depression but certainly not for Psychosis.
Hope this regain of hope sends out a more positive message than my last posts and just wanted to update.
Wish me luck! I hope to get out of this predicament.
