add remeron/latuda/saphris/?? for bp depression

Posted by bp peanut on February 1, 2016, at 21:30:16

I saw SLS's post about possible contraindications possible with remeon and latuda. Has anyone else experienced similar result? (with my meds- see below). Is saphris possibly conflicting as well, or is it different? I certainly wouldn't want to make my symptoms worse. My depression is much better than it was when I was here previously and I've really switched from relying totally on meds and am doing alot of behavioral interventions/treatment as well. Still, I want to believe that this anhedonia and lack of motivation isn't something I'm stuck with forever. I just dropped ambien, perphenazine, zyprexa, and ativan, so I feel better about that. We're cutting down from the 20mg adderall to just 10mg, so I feel good about that too. I just worry about stopping antidepressents and antipsychotics because it seems like if I go off of them, they don't work when I go back on them. One problem with being on so many meds is that I don't know which one has pooped out (or indeed if the meds still work fine but environmental factors have changed. Anyway, I don't know where to go next. I have tried almost every drug I can t and who knows how many others I don't remember. I feel like I'm just out of options. If I can learn to tolerate the taste of saphris (doc mentioned a new black cherry flavor-- is it still disgusting), does it have the same contraindications as latuda and remeron? Sorry so long.

Current meds:
antidepressants-
amitriptyline 200mg
Aplenzin 522mg
Parnate 90mg
stimulants (for depression)
-adderall (30mg SR)
-adderall 10mg
antipsychotics
-geodon 240mg
sleep
-belsomra
anxiety/sleep:
-Klonipin 0.5mg twice daily
for nightmares
-prasozin- 10mg

Previously tried:
Everything I can think of that's not a total contraindication with Parnate (see below)
seroquel,
risperdal,
kind of saphris (for about 1 minute- due to horrible taste),
abilify,
wellbutrin,
ritalin,
mirapex,
trileptal,
lithium
depakote,
tons of SSRIs,
topamax,
thyroxine,
provigil,
nortriptyline,
naltrexone

Hi. Is Lamictal OK w/ Parnate? I'm no doctor, but I'd try that (if you can) and/or Latuda. I would think you'd want to try to low dose the Latuda since you're on a hefty dose of Geodon. Then again...I could easily be wrong.

Hope you find something. Please keep us all posted.

Hi, BP Peanut.

I came across two people on Psycho-Babble who are currently taking Remeron 7.5-15.0 mg/day with a MAOI. I wish I could tell you for sure that it was safe to combine these drugs. However, I can't say that it isn't.
