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

Greetings; I am not on your meds so cannot address that part but as for employment I can tell you from first-hand experience, engineering and memory loss are a no-go employment-wise. My brain is too foggy ATM to see any meaningful employment that doesn't require remembering things...even as my memory goes, my "muscle memory" or whatever drives my hands still retains abilities that my mind doesn't recall what to do with....
