"i was diagnosed once year ago with depression and associated generalized anxiety, i was prescribed initially sertraline and alprazolam, but the secondary effects of sertraline were too severe (nausea, vomit, diarrea), my psyc changed the sertraline to paroxetine, and again i didn&#039;t tolerated it. finally a was prescribed venlafaxine which helped me with my depression symptoms, but i was too anxious, and irritable.
finally i was diagnosed with type 2 bipolar disorder and quetiapine was prescribed. initially i was taking 25 mgs before going to sleep, which helped with sleep, but i was anxious and irritable, quetiapine dose was increased, and at this moment i taking 100 mgs before going to bed. this medication really helped, i&#039;m not anxious or depressed."
