I saw SLS's post about possible contraindications possible with remeon and latuda. Has anyone else experienced similar result? (with my meds- see below). Is saphris possibly conflicting as well, or is it different? I certainly wouldn't want to make my symptoms worse. My depression is much better than it was when I was here previously and I've really switched from relying totally on meds and am doing alot of behavioral interventions/treatment as well. Still, I want to believe that this anhedonia and lack of motivation isn't something I'm stuck with forever. I just dropped ambien, perphenazine, zyprexa, and ativan, so I feel better about that. We're cutting down from the 20mg adderall to just 10mg, so I feel good about that too. I just worry about stopping antidepressents and antipsychotics because it seems like if I go off of them, they don't work when I go back on them. One problem with being on so many meds is that I don't know which one has pooped out (or indeed if the meds still work fine but environmental factors have changed. Anyway, I don't know where to go next. I have tried almost every drug I can t and who knows how many others I don't remember. I feel like I'm just out of options. If I can learn to tolerate the taste of saphris (doc mentioned a new black cherry flavor-- is it still disgusting), does it have the same contraindications as latuda and remeron? Sorry so long.
