ive had more than one episode of psychotic depression, so I think I'm ideally supposed to be on an atypical tranquilizer (and probably not the one I take) and an antidepressant, indefinitely. and yet...
id really rather not, thanks. LOL. The Abilify @ 20mgs is a godsend, but it doesn't do much for depression. when I get the blues, its odd...its almost as if i can tell that if I wasn't on the abilify, I'd be losing weight, haunted by low grade voices, some paranoia, etc...
but "they" want me on an antidepressant. So....amoxapine?!?! Has anyone here taken it? Could I take it and...just amoxapine? That'd be -amazing-.
These are probably questions to ask a psychiatrist, but...mine keep changing. 1's contract ended, 2nd one's out to private practice, 3rd one's done his time "filling in until you get a permanent assignment," etc., so...
yeah. a psychiatrist did recommend it once, but -with- full dose abilify, and I couldn't hang. the thought of 2 full dose tranquilizers, at the same time...nope. nothing doing.
so...anyone? or loxapine. but loxapine isn't good for depression, right? right. I don't actually know, LOL.
Thanks. :-)
