Anyone take Symbyax?

I know I'm not really a part of the community here, so anyone who takes the time to read and respond to this...thanks! :-)

I'm about to start a new medication called Symbyax...I've read all about it online, but was wondering if anyone here has taken it and how it's effected them.
I'm weaning down from 600mg of Seroquel...which is only the 2nd med I've tried. It worked for awhile, but recently the symptoms returned, and I never could shake the drowsiness.

So Symbyax...pros, cons?

Thanks again.

In my humble opinion, zyprexa is to be avoided if at all possible...Nasty side effects. abilify/geodon less shocking to the system.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
