Yes, I take escitalopram (antidepressant) along with an antipsychotic. If I go lower on the antidepressant I begin to be depressed. So for me I find it necessary.

Good luck and stick with it while you find a good med combo for you, it can be a really tough time while you go on and off meds trying to find a good combo for you.

While only on antidepressants, I found myself stuck in mania, I need the Seroquel to bring me back down.

Sounds like a few here are the same.

All the best
