I dunno. I don't know much about the MAOI drugs. Personally, I'd try something else before an MAOI. Not to knock the MAOIs, but...some newer drugs can get the job done w/ fewer potential problems.

Could your doc try a low dose of Ritalin or something? I mean, that can help some people w/ OCD, and it might provide enough stimulation to help w/ focus, mood issues, etc. Based on personal experience, I'd take Ritalin over an amphetamine if you're on ongoing Abilify treatment. I guess there's also Provigil, but...I don't know anything about that medication.

Hmmm...well, some people do well on Prozac+Wellbutrin. I mean, adding both would kinda be building a cocktail, but...I've been thinking about it myself. For me...I was thinking about trying to drop, or at least reduce, the Trileptal and add in 10-20mgs/ Prozac for lingering depression and my obsessive traits (not full blown OCD). I think Prozac messes w/ Abilify, so you'd have to reduce the dose of Abilify.

Ummm...could you try going up on the Lamictal? I mean, if its working, its working...I just didn't get much out of it till I hit 100. Now I get the sense that its keeping the worst of my depression at bay...taking the edge off, at least...and maybe helping with overall moodiness.

And...I do recommend trying at least some vitamins from the Orthomolecular programs. Especially if you're going to be on a neuroleptic long term...you should seriously consider at least vitamin E (preferably natural form w/ mixed tocopherols) and vitamin C a couple times daily. Just throwing that out there.

Good luck!
