Feeling terrible...symptoms have evolved from straight morbid all consuming depression, to depressed feelings but racing thoughts and need to get lots of things done. My head is racing but Im miserable and just want it to shut up.. Im irritable, impatient, snappy even though im taking 300mg of seroquel at night and 4mg of Xanax through out the day as well as my antidepresants. aggghhh!!!Dont know what to so, if I stop taking the antidepressants in the hope that will stop the manic side of my problem then I know I will sink into deep depression, but if I up my seroquel then i risk not being able to function because of the lethargy it will cause and my mind would be quiter and less racy but the negative depressed thoughts would still be there...i just dont know anymore I am soo tired of having to fight everyday for something that many people take for granted.

It is hard, even harder until you find the right \"cocktail\" of meds...I\'m on an antidepressant-Paxil, for my OCD diagnosis...I understand that it don\'t go along the best with bipolar for some, but works for me! :) I also take clonezapam (much like xanax), and seroquel. I\'m only on 50 mg. of Seroquel, but can up it if need be...I hope your mind quiets and you can find some peace! Love, your buddy Jess
