In reply to med for negativ symptoms, posted by sigolene on February 22, 2010, at 8:43:34
Actually, after I made my posting, I read Viking's post, and yeah, I totally agree with it.
Lower or eliminate lamictal.
Lower or eliminate cymbalta.
Add Savella.
Abilify with or without Amisulpride (in pubmed studies it was combined with Amisulpride...in one study it lowered prolactin, in another it did not), but they have been combined so you wouldn't be the first.The key with any of these however is....LOW doses. Amisulpride needs to be 50mg, maybe 100mg max, but I felt a lot of blunting at 100mg. I know we all respond differently, but just the starting dose of cymbalta created worse negative symptoms for me. Savella can be dosed 25mg to 150mg per day. Abilify seems to become more blunting at doses above 5mg, so that's probably why it works better on negative symptoms in doses lower than that.
