Amoxapine in Bipolar I?

Posted by Christ_empowered on September 10, 2013, at 13:52:26

I have Bipolar I w/psychotic features. Currently, the line up is: 1200mgs/Trileptal, 20mgs/Abilify, and 300mgs/Neurontin (100, 3x daily). I also do Orthomolecular.
I have significant agitation, severe depressive episodes (psychotic features), and severe mania, when I get manic (again, psychotic features).
I also have a touch of OCD, but it seems secondary to extreme agitation on either end of the mood spectrum. So, my doc mentioned amoxapine. Initially, she said it'd be taken w/ the Abilify, but we talked and she said maybe, if I took it, she could do a switch from Abilify to amoxapine.
What do you all know about this drug? Any personal experiences? What's the TD and EPS risk like compared to Abilify @ 20-30?
Thanks in advance.
