Hi, I Am A 61 Year Old Female Who Has

Hi,

I am a 61 year old female who has been "walking on eggshells" for my years, due to man stressful situations from family members. Long story short, around the first of November, I went into severe depression. I had earlier had gallbladder/gallstone surgery the last of September which went well. My husband took me to my family general practitioner as we are in a rural area and do not have access to a pyschiatrist at the present time. I was placed on Wellbutrin XL 300 mg. and Seroquel 100 mg. to help with sleep and anxiety. My sleep with Seroquel is not a refreshing sleep. I also have Obstructive Sleep Apnea and I use my sleep machine faithfully. My Wellbutrin dosage was changed to the 300 mg on November 18. When do you feel these medications will start to take effect and the refreshing sleep will return? I'm not 100% sure that the Seroquel is helping much in the order of a feeling of well being nor refreshing sleep. How long does someone need to stay on these 2 medications before a good result is noticed? I want to give these meds a good try before having to change to something else. My next appointment is in the middle of January 2015.

Thank you,
Carole
