Atypical APs and depression

Posted by orbital on August 14, 2013, at 20:20:04

Hello everyone, it's been a while. I hope this post doesn't turn into yet another battle of insults. So, disclaimer: I need insight re:MEDICATION only, thanks.
I'm wondering if AAPs truly do help with MDD, or if they make matters worse. For the past 18 months my doctor has supplemented my AD du jour with just about every AAP available (currently on Prozac 20, Effexor 150 and Saphris 10). These last few months have been my worst ever.
I'm not BP btw.
Basically, I'm wondering if antagonizing dopamine receptors even makes sense for someone who is already feeling flat, apathetic, and anhedonic or if it's just big pharma (TM) marketing hype. I know the AAPs hit a bunch of other receptors etc but their main function is still to block the D receptors, right?
Any experience? Insights? Thanks!
