I started seeing a psychiatrist about seven weeks ago.She put me on Seroquel 12.5 in a.m. 12.5 in afternoon and 25 at bedtime.When she raised the bedtime to 50mg. it was too much. I had gene testing done to find the right antidepressants and there is only three that I can take and the one of the three is Pristiq which I was already on and the Seroquel was added. According to the gene testing I shouldn’t be taking Seroquel,so I don’t know what to do next.
My PCP won’t prescribe anything for pain or depression. I went to the ER twice and they gave me a script for Tramadol for two weeks until I have an appointment with StMary’s Pain Management.It doesn’t work for me for pain but at 25mg twice a day has been incredible for my anxiety.
The jury is still out on the Seroquel
and the Tramadol which according to the results of my gene testing Tramadol and Codine are two medications that I should not take.
The results of the gene testing came back after I was already on those meds.
We just have to keep trying.
