magpie Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 My psychiatrist likes to let me make the suggestions for my treatment. I'm doing alright but things are very up and down. Here's what I've tried so far: Celexa: worked, numbed me made me gain 60lbs Lexapro: nothing Wellbutrin: made me anxious and suicidal Effexor: made me suicidal Lithium: did nothing except make me pee Ativan: made me see waterfalls What I'm on now: Prozac 60mg: there isn't too much room to raise it anymore. Works but not completely Ability 2mg: I'm not sure what it is doing besides making me hungry. It helps somewhat in an unknown way I suppose. I cannot raise it without getting akathesia. Topamax 100mg: Basically so I don't gain weight I have had ect recommended to me. Thanks. Any random suggestions are helpful. I am very sensitive to meds.

rowan77 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 (edited) What about Seroquel? It is a very good med for depression. Also Lamictal can help depression ETA:Oops, just noticed in your signature that you already take Seroquel Edited April 11, 2014 by rowan77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjimjam Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Prozac can go up to 80mg. If it is partially effective and you are tolerating it trying it might be worth trying the higher dose. You could also try lithium again. It might work for you better now that you are on an AD that is at least sort of working. It is great for boosting an AD that is only partially effective.
