I've been scared of Geodon as it seems like a "dirty" AAP that's hard to come off from.
BUT I have tried Seroquel, Abilify, and Latuda as add-ons for depression/anxiety/obsessional thinking.
I'd have to say Abilify was the least numbing, but made sleep difficult.
Latuda came in second in terms of flatness. Weight neutral. Increased my headaches though and was VERY unpredictable in terms of sedation.
Seroquel was the most zombifying, depending on dose. but I never really went over 25mgs.
The SSRI I take (especially when) seems to have a direct impact on the potency of the AAP. If I took too much in the morning it would kick in the sedation and no amount of coffee or ritalin would perk me up.
Have you thought about other AAPs that would have better antidepressant effects at lower doses?
