My pdoc is circling back around to antidepressants so I will be starting Pristiq again. I am worried because I antidepressants it didn’t go well.

Scared how this may make things worse but he thinks with Clozapine it will protect against the bad side effects.

I hope Pristiq helps you. I've had a good response to it.

Your doctor is using clozapine as a mood stabilizer. If you search for clozapine mood stabilizer you'll find a bunch of articles about it.

My pdoc does that with my meds and it works.

I'm hoping things will work out for you.
