I have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I am taking buspiron, Xanax,seroquel, and vistaril ands Effexor I take the seroquel at night along with the above prescriptions. But my mornings are very difficult I just cry. This has been going on for about 3 months. My doctor seems to be at an impass and so am I. I want to get better be happy and take up my hobbies that I enjoyed. I should add that I did have shock therapy some time ago. I don t know how many treatments but it was double digit. Why are my mornings so difficult ?

Hi,

Being on long-term antidepressants have their serious side effects. I think your brain has become resistant to all the above medications and it doesn't help you anymore rather your state is worsening.

I would suggest you try to do yoga, meditation, jogging and or running these are best antidepressants without any side effects. Last but not least be positive.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
