CoexistCapeCod Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Hello all,I am new to this site and have found it to be helpful just knowing that I'm not alone with what I'm going though. Presently I am on Mirtazapine 30mg, Abilify 5mg, and Lorazepam .5mg 2x day as needed. I've been taking these for months now and the only thing that has worked has been the Abilify (stopping me from hearing things that aren't there). The depression is still going strong. However, I am sleeping well - maybe too much. Past meds that didn't work for me have been: Latuda, Lithium, and Prozac. I have an appointment with my pharmacologist on Tuesday and hope she can either up the meds or try something different. Thanks for having this website available.

jt07 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Welcome, CoexistCapeCod. I'm glad you joined us. I'm sorry the depression is still raging for you. I take mirtazapine and Abilify among other meds. I take citalopram also as an AD, and I think it goes better with my Abilify than the mirtazapine, but the mirtazapine prevents insomnia from the Abilify. Abilify really only started to work for my depression at 10 mg, but it works for a lot of people at 5 mg. I hope you find the meds and doses that work for you. I suspect that you are on the right track. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
