Seroquel stopped a rapid decline of depression while on Cymbalta, which I believe made my depression worse with suicidal thoughts when none were present before beginning Cymbalta. I was amazed at how quickly the suicidality was reversed and how much quicker than other meds I have taken for similar situation.
Having said that, I have weaned off of it, knowing the downside to it. My pdoc trying to get me to reintroduce it to my current regime of Emsam 6 mg since I am not depressed but not at my baseline yet. I am resisting for now, but occasionally take 25 mg for insomnia although there's probably something much more specific I should take.
Anyway, I know what you mean by stopping the feeling and Seroquel did stop the suicidal thoughts which was a blessing. I would take it again if necessary since it was quick and helped me avoid a more drastic procedure.
