Thats good news, kirk.
But Maoi can really set you back if you are prone to psychosis. You might think its possible to counter the "pro-psychoticness" from Nardil or Parnate with more antipsychotics but in my case that wasnt possible. God knows ive tried.
If i recall correctly, Tomatheus, you dont want to take more than 5mg of Abilify.
I dont think Nardil would work out for you and it may set you back by either causing you to need more of the abilify than you take now in order to stay sane or straight psychosis.
I can see the desperation but i would be very cautious with Maoi.
I have kind of distanced myself from (current) ADs..
I cant see many people that improve and i think that many that do experience some form of placebo. SSRI? The latest in science? Placebo: 30% improved, SSRI: 40%.It doesnt seem to adress the leading cause of depression, does it?
Im waiting for the new stuff. And i hope its not just some marketing fairytale as with SSRI. And even if they did help more than squat, they kill your ability for orgasm.
Maoi seem the only ADs worth mentioning, but not so if you have any tendency for psychosis.
Tricyclics can prolong qt (just as APs, therefore combination is difficult). That leaves Remeron as the only option. It does more than squat, but it also makes you fat and it gives me nightmaires.
I thought about the addition of Prazosin, but i dont think i could drive anymore with Remeron and Prazosin ontop of Seroquel.
Long story short i am waiting for the new stuff and i have vicarious embarassment for docs that still believe that SSRI are good and prescribe them. It is a shame how so many people are fooled.
Schizo-Affective, type depressive
Seroquel 800mg
Zyprexa 2.5mg
Lithium orotate 480mg
Metformin 1500mg
Effexor 20mg
Please keep conspiracy theories to yourself!
