has anyone ever had a good experience on an antidepressant? i’ve taken sertraline and fluoxetine, but they both have induced mania. i’m seriously trying to get ahold of my OCD, which has been labeled as treatment resistant. I’m already starting ERP therapy because i’m a mom now and i don’t want my daughter to grow up with a mother with untreated OCD. i’m also currently on lamotrigine and i’m also currently cross tapering seroquel to olanzapine due to seroquel being way too sedating for me. if anyone also has advice on coming off seroquel that would be nice too since you’re already here 😭😂

i requested a med change because i had a baby a few months ago and i’m on seroquel now and i may as well be dead after i take it. i wake up to my daughter very consistently even when she just stirs in her sleep, but i have a very hard time staying awake long enough to care for her. i’ve been taking the seroquel for 10 years and i’ve struggled with excessive daytime sleepiness sometimes i literally just fall asleep. did anybody feel like this on seroquel and feel better on latuda? i’m really scared that i’m going to take it and it’s going to be just like the seroquel. i also have emetophobia so i have zofran on hand in case it makes me nauseous, but is that even that big of a problem for most people? my psychiatrist said that if i take it with 350cal it should help prevent the nausea.
