Does meds help BPD or is my pshyc treating my depression? i am currently counseled 1/wk and dr 1/month?

im currently taking 150mg of Effexor 50mg Seroquel of morn and 50 mg Seroquel and 30mg Remeron at nite

BPD is Borderline Personality Disorder- do you mean Bipolar Disorder? Either way, the symptoms are the same and so is the treatment.

Don't take Seroquel! They're being sued for causing diabetes and diabetic comas (especially if you're overweight). I'm Bipolar II and Seroquel made me want to stab stuff.

I don't know why doctors prescribe anti-deprnts AND anti-anx for ppl with BPD and bipolar ppl, they cancel each other out!

I take Lamictal. Everyone I've talked to who's on it feels great! It is an anti-convulsant and it helps mostly with depression. Most psych meds take a long time to start working, especially starting at such low doses. Just be patient and don't quit going and don't quit taking your meds (except Seroquel)!!

it will be both. the meds will be helping the symptoms of your depression where as your counselling will be discovering the root of your problem, so they are both working in different but effective ways. Keep both up, dont just use meds as that will never conquor the problem, unless it is purely physiological, which i very much doubt. good luck x
