I suffer from mood swings between normal mood and depression. I am taking 60 mg of Celexa and 1 mg Flupenthixol as an augmentation med. The problem is the instability of my mood. I tried tricyclics and lithium (stoped about awful nausea).
What could be a good option. Lamictal, Tegretol or what? Which med has fewer side effects (like sedation, dizziness..) What about Amisulpride, Risperdal or Zyprexa ? Generally I dont like the idea of neuroleptics (antipsychotics) because I think they make you indifferent instead I take flupenthixol (my docs bad idea ?!) with limited success.
Perhaps I should try an augmentation med to my SSRI (celexa), like Reboxetine (a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor). I heard it works well for less of motivation ,self esteem and anhedonia.
Thanks for your good suggestions and ideas.
