In reply to POLL: Best antipsychotic for depression?????, posted by ace on February 20, 2006, at 8:19:06
As the other posters suggested, Seroquel has recently been the focus of much attention for its antidepressant potential.
Zyprexa might be better yet; Clozaril even better.
Risperdal for comorbid OCD.
I have been on all the atypicals except for Clozaril. I think they all have the potential to act as augmentors of antidepressants.
I know one person for whom Risperdal 2.0mg + Seroquel 50mg act synergistically to bring about a robust antidepressant effect. Without the Risperdal, this same person needs a minimum of 800mg of Seroquel to do the job. This combination might be an ideal treatment for your OCD + depression.
