> Scott - thanks for the suggestion. It does seem that lurasidone lacks the cognitive side effects of the other APs, but it doesn't have approval in the UK yet. I'm also unsure as to what D2 receptor antagonism would do in terms of the akathisia/restlessness I get from the SSRIs - would it not worsen it?
Akathisia is the result of D2 receptor blockade in the striatum. Latuda avoids this area. I hope this drug is made available to you soon. Stay away from SRIs (SSRIs + SNRIs) if you can. What non-SRI antidepressants have you tried? Have you tried Remeron (mirtazapine)? What about Solian (amisulpride)?
