> On paper, pimavanserin looks interesting. I currently take mirtazapine (mainly for sleep) however, it hits histamine pretty hard. It might be nice to try a more selective 5-ht2a/c antagonist, to see how it augments venlafaxine with possibly less sedation.
Adding some nortriptyline to venlafaxine would take care of the 5-HT2a/c receptor antagonism and promote more NE reuptake inhibition than what a low dosage of venlafaxine does.
Understanding that my treatment responses in the past have been modest at best, I was impressed with the combination of venlafaxine + nortripyline. This occurred at a dosage of 75 mg/day of nortriptyline. We now know that I need 150 mg/day. For me, should I need to jettison Parnate, the first thing I would try would be a combination of venlafaxine 300 mg/day + nortriptyline 150 mg/day.
