Thanks, I've tried many things already to include buspar and mirtazapine as augmentors without success. Same with some of the other atypicals such as ziprasidone, aripiprazole, quetiapine and asenapine. I got a allergic reaction to ziprasidone, while asenapine and quetiapine were much too sedating. I got a VERY robust response to aripiprazole, however I couldn't handle the amount of insomnia and constipation it caused. I'm hopeful that Risperdal is a good middle ground between sedation and activation with the same robust result.
It would be faster for me to list AD's that I haven't tried which are vilazodone, pristiq and a handful of TCA's and the MAOI's. I've also exhausted the majority of augmenting strategies: wellbutrin, remeron, T3, buspar, various AC's, lyrica and now the AAP's. Still have to try the typicals and olanzapine, which I'm keeping in my back pocket as a last resort due to the metabolic issues that can result.
