> I did well on a combination of Pristiq+Saphris. I had a long episode of depression that was only seeing partial remission with Lexapro+Abilify but the Pristiq+Saphris helped a lot. I do not take these medications anymore, except very occasional Saphris prn for a few days. Discontinuing Pristiq was not difficult for me, which I found strange with all the horror stories about Effexor withdrawal.
Hi herpills,
Thanks for your input. I was on Abilify with Lexapro a few years back but it wasn't successful. I really might need to change over from Lexapro once and for all.
> I don't have any experience with Viibryd. I don't personally know anyone who takes it. My view is unless it's better than Lexapro no reason to spend the extra $$ for another SSRI, regardless of its unique properties. herpills
Yeah, I kinda agree, unless said unique properties really make a difference. I don't have insurance and generic Lexapro already costs me $100/month.Thanks again,
bryn
