no luck with ssris or trycyclics so now they want to give me risperidone or olanzapine to augment. Any experiences of these please
Yes.
I started with olanzapine. It didn't make any difference to my mood but i puy on about 3 stone, which i can't get of now.
And yes to resperdal. I started this several weeks ago and found an immediate better effect. It really for the first time feels like something is happening. It even happened very quickly. I'm just hoping I'm not going thru one of my up periods. But i feel about better.
Not sure about the pharmacology or why is not done more. I also have a past history of psychosis maybe that's why they put me on tha
Let me know how you get on.
I have no psychosis and not bipolar, they want me to try this for anti depressant as all others dont work.
i am a week in almost, and feeling very strange, i wonder if its nit the med for me, how do i find out, wait another week feeling flattened and unmotivated?
