Hi Denise,
I hope you don't mind if I butt in.
> I do like Zyprexa but don't want to take it regularly or long term, the same thing would apply to abilify or seroquel.

> The reason is and you might not see the logic in this but:-Your logic makes sense. You don't want to burn up your last hope. I also haven't had good luck with retrials of ADs. They either don't work, or my side effects are worse.
I took Abilify a couple of years ago for depression with good results. But it faded out and I eventually stopped it. I started it again recently and it's working. I'm having trouble with some side effects, but it's no worse than it was the first time. This makes me wonder if it's easier to recapture therapeutic effects of APs than ADs. Perhaps Ed or Scott or someone else will have some input on this.
