But you might want to try an atypical antipsychotic instead or together with an SSRI or MAOI.

Have you tried taking an (atypical) antipsychotic?

Edit:
I was thinking, maybe it is a good idea as some kind of shock therapy.

(And I see you take Latuda.)
Totally off topic, but this explains so much about my mother's death and why I should never drink... thank you.
