dealing with depression and recovery - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

christchild · 09-01-2004, 01:39 PM

I have been seven months clean and sober. I have an addiction to opiates. I am currently taking Seroquel and Lexapro. I like the Lexapro. But I have been taking the Seroquel for about six weeks. I feel better but I am sluggish at times. My mood has definitely gotten better. It is difficult to tell if it is the depression that I have because I cry very easily or if it is the post acute withdrawal symptoms from my addiction. We were taught about that in treatment. Anyone on Seroquel or Lexapro and Seroquel?

Im sorry that you are struggling right now . my name is Trish and I was an opiate addict also , I experienced some mood swings in early recovery myself . I still do but they are not as severe . I am on both those meds you posted about and they are working well for me as far as I can tell .If you have questions about your moods and your meds you really should ask your Doctor . Take care ..prayers
