Depression. Taking Medication, Having Side Effects. Recommendations?

I am on 375 of effexor and I was on 150 of seriquel. I stopped the seriquel because I upped it to 200 and I got hives so I stopped it altogether. Still have hives everyday. Also my depression seems really bad at the moment it does seem to go up and down. I have been on effexor for over a year for ptsd and depression. I am to scared to give my credit card details so I will find another way to work it out.

Hi, you got prescription of effexor375, and seriquel150, and you have stopped the drug seriquel as you had hives, but still continuing with the hives, and depression seems to be worst.
If you have to continue or to stop you should inform your doctor and then stop, as some drugs are to be stopped by tapering. Thank you.
