Sheilac, your story just goes to show how complicated and unique we all are. I am glad that you at least have the Seroquel to help out. I hope it gives you consistently good sleeps as it is a real pain to be pissing around with meds each night and never knowing what's going to work. I was on Zyprexa for many years so that is another med you might consider if things get reallly tough...but be warned that it comes with it's own set of risks and side-effects! I am currently using clonazepam to augment trimipramine. Things seem OK for now but I know the benzos are not for everyone. Some people develop tolerance very quickly while others can take them for years and years without any problem. Also, benzos apparently prevent deep, restorative sleep so that is another strike against them. It sounds like you are doing the right thing by working closely with your psychiatrist.
