In reply to POLL: Best antipsychotic for depression?????, posted by ace on February 20, 2006, at 8:19:06
Hard to say. On paper seroquel looks the best. But it makes me extremely depressed. Sedation and dry mouth is pretty intense. You know how mileage varies. Zyprexa is good. Risperdal has more of an activating antidepressant effect similar to amisulpride at very low doses, but then has a lethargic feel to it at medium or high doses. In a psychiatry book I was reading they said stelazine was similar to amisulpride.
In my own experiences, nothing beats amisulpride. For me it was fantastic for depression and after a few weeks for social anxiety too. But oh my did it have horrendous sexual side effects from elevated prolactin levels (risperdal does that too). My second favorite is zyprexa.
