> My Seroquel trial is coming to an end. No improvement in energy and motivation. I'm now looking at the above. Do you favor one over the other?
I would consider both as possible therapeutic agents to treat depression. I would choose Abilify first because it is more predictable than Geodon in therapeutic effect. Both drugs can help with increasing energy and motivation. You will find success stories with the use of either of these drugs.
Antidepressant properties:
Abilify: D2/D3 partial agonist
Geodon: NE and 5-HT reuptake inhibition; 5-HT7 receptor antagonist
Both: 5-HT2a antagonist; 5-HT1a receptor partial agonist.
