> > My psydoc added Fluanxol to Cariprazine ... i feel better for the moment depression wise and rest is improving it's day 5... never thought it could work, we wanted to switch and find a solution for my gambling induced problems by Abilify class Anti psychotic... IT IS ONLY DAY 5... but it has lifted my depression symptoms already from the start day 1 how is that possible so fast acting with fluanxol 1 mg?

> The antidepressive mechanism of action of flupenthixol (Fluanxol) has not been elucidated to my knowledge. In some studies even less than 1 mg is enough to produce a noticeable effect. I don't know if higher doses are better, but they don't seem to be harmful with respect to the antidepressant action, although they would of course increase the probability of side effects.
