Has anyone tried adding zyprexa or risperidone to an MAOI. Did they/it heighten the MAOI effect whilst bringing on it's own/their (the antipsychotic) own effects? Specifically, what were the s/effects? How did it make you feel?
Just interested...

Nardil, 90mg.

I have added Risperdal and Zyprexa to Parnate 60mg, and Zyprexa to Nardil 90mg.I found both to produce some antidepressant effects. For me, Zyprexa was superior. Both possess potent antipsychotic properties that I see as very effective for mania and psychotic depression. The relief I gleaned from Nardil + Zyprexa was significant, but inadequate. I think it is very much worth exploring.
Good luck!

Don't waste your time at 2.5mg Zyprexa. I think 5.0mg is a good initial target dosage. The side-effects are not dosage-dependent. If there is a psychotic or delusional component, you might do better at 10mg.

> Just interested...i felt great on parnate 30 mg + zyprexa 5 mg + clonazepam 1 mg
i took it because parnate was making me a little hypomanic.... (much less so than SSRIs/effexor i might add)
