Thanks, Scott. I had some of these in mind as I know they are effective with melancholia. I've tried a few of them before but only for very short periods. They were add-ons to the Lexapro.
Is that what you're suggesting?The other component here is I'm beginning to wonder if OCD plays a big role in my depression. I have the same recurring thoughts, fears, rumination all of the time but used to think that was a symptom of BI 2. From what I've been reading I'm thinking it's OCD (fears about things I can't control such as death, harm to family members, my dog, etc.) They're daily and intrusive and I can't get out of my head. That made me think about changing to Luvox, which I never tried. (I did try Prozac and it was terrible for me.)
I do fear weight gain so I'm weary of some Tricyclics and Abilify. With that in mind, I'm thinking about changing from Lexapro to Luvox or Pristiq, or staying on Lexapro and adding a Tricyclic or Abilify.
The other 2 constants are Subutex (which I'll eventually be weaned off of) and Klonopin, 2mg.
Feeling super confused :/. Thanks for the input.
