> What do you think of Abilify or Sulpride as apposed to amisulpride?
Amisulpride, unlike the other two, acts as a potent antagonist at serotonin 5-HT7 receptors. It is this property that some researchers believe makes amisulpride a better antidepressant or anti-dysthymic. I like Abilify as an augmenter of antidepressants. A friend of mine is doing better on Geodon.
I don't know what makes the best sense for you to do right now. If you did not benefit at all from Wellbutrin or Cymbalta, you might want to go a different route. You could try combining Effexor with nortriptyline. Then, if this does not work, you could then switch from Effexor to Parnate and leave the nortriptyline in place. Of course, there are other things you can do, but without any more information, it is hard to know what has not been tried yet.
Is there anything bipolar going on with you or your family?
> By the way how are you doing?
I could be worse, but I could be a lot better. I'm taking 5 drugs and am not even 50% improved. I am not happy. It really gets to me sometimes.
Currently:
Parnate 80mg
nortriptyline 150mg
Lamictal 200mg
Abilify 10mg
lithium 450mg
