Hi Phillipa,
It's good to hear from you.
I have a schizoid personality disorder, an avoidant personality disorder,
and an obsessive compulsive personality disorder.I've been pestered by Elavil for 37 years,
but now I'm happy on a Wellbutrin/mirtazapine combo.However, I would like to have a deeper sleep.
Mirtazapine isn't a perfect sleep aid, but I'm augmenting this drug with Lyrica.Now I have this idea to add a small dose of Seroquel for better quality of sleep.
Seroquel was the sixth most sold drug in the U.S. 2008.
There must be a reason why this atypical antipsychotic has become so popular by Americans.Best regards,
X-ray

I've heard that Seroquel XL is not sedating. I'd try that if I didn't need it for sleep, but I like regular Seroquel because I can't sleep without it.

Remeron + Seroquel gives too much sedation.
Now I've quit this combo for good.X-ray

Hi,
I'm on Remeron and Lyrica for sleep.
Wellbutrin gives me a lot of energy.
Buspar takes care of my anxiety.
Fluanxol has a stabilizing effect.Best regards,
