Hi everyone, just joined. I'm 36, male. Hoping to sort out meds. I just increased my dose of Oxcarbazepine to 600mg, twice a day for auditory and visual hallucinations and Quetiapine for sleep, just 50mg. Anyone taking these meds sort a depression/anxiety med that worked with the two?

Anyone found ways to keep employment with memory problems.

thank you
