> Antipsychotics for anergic depression? Huh?
Yup.
I know you already know this, but...
APs are not really antipsychotics. They are drugs with antipsychotic properties. Some of these drugs also have antidepressant properties that can be used to treat anergic depression.
Abilify, Risperdal, and Zyprexa are the AP drugs that produced significant antidepressant responses for me. Risperdal and Zyprexa both pooped out on me. By itself, Abilify does very little for me. However, it is adds a great deal of benefit when combined with the other drugs I am taking.
