I use a small dose of Seroquel (25mg) for sleep on Nardil. I've noticed that over the week i've been taking Seroquel (only about a week now), my
moods the next day get worse...I get mood swings, more anxiety and generally just a more depressive state. This was well under control with Nardil alone using melatonin and various herbals for sleep (although my sleep was crap).Seroquel and other new antipsychotics are antagonists of dopamine and seratonin receptors, correct? So is it possible, since Nardil helps to increase dopamine and seratonin (among others), that Seroquel is "diminishing" (if that makes sense) Nardils effects on dopamine and seratonin?
If so...what would be a good augment to combat this if possible? I want to stay with this sleep med ideally. I was thinking to use tyrosine and perhaps tryptophan in combo (at low dose) to reverse some of this. Is my logic correct here guys? Please I need ideas...this is starting to suck.
Anyone?
thanks,
myco
