OK, so I was thinking: maybe my problem is too much antipsychotic in the antipsychotic+ssri combo. I take 30mgs Abilify, 20mgs Celexa. The problem with reducing the Abiify is that I'm kind of prone to agitation and hyperkinetic issues, and Abilify is very clean, non-sedating, etc., but it takes a kind of high dose to calm me down.
So I was thinking...low-ish dose Zyprexa plus Prozac? The combo has been well-studied, and it seems like I could adjust the zyprexa component up or down, depending on my mood. I do have psychosis issues, but I think maybe 30mgs Abilify is a bit much. I was thinking 5mgs Zyprexa to prevent drug-induced agitation/mania and act as a tranquilizer, plus the Prozac to lift my mood and eventually soothe my anxiety (Abilify isn't very good at dealing with anxiety).
What do you guys think? Bad idea?
