In reply to adjunctive meds to pair with paxil?, posted by shadowmon on December 21, 2008, at 5:40:25
These are the meds SLS suggested:
Remeron
lithium
nortriptyline
desipramine
Provigil
Abilify
Geodon
LamictalI agree with those, but would add three more to the list:
Ritalin
Adderal
ZyprexaIt would help to define what you mean by "residual" symptoms. If lack of pleasure or flatness, then Provigil or Ritalin might be first choices. If it is sleep problems, then Zyprexa. Actually, Zyprexa all around for just about anything, as long as you don't mind gaining a few pounds. Nortriptyline could also help all around.
But honestly, there is no way to predict. I just think that of all the meds out there to choose from, the ones listed are the best choices to look at. And actually, depending on the symptoms you are trying to target, it may be that three two add-on meds may be needed. One, for example, for sleep and overall; the other for daytime motivation and energy.
