> I tried Geodon at 40-60mg for a couple months...did nothing for my depression symptoms. It was helpful in stopping a "mixed state" that I was in, worked very quickly for that...but I think as an antidepressant Geodon isn't that great.
Yup. Agreed!

> Have you tried any other antipsychotics for your depression? Seroquel and Latuda both can act as antidepressants.Allegedly they can. I have--tried probably tried all of the remotely psych meds on the American market, including AAP adjuncts. Whatever their efficacy in trial may not be measuring properly, and can relieve a lot of something...or create it. AAPs are not as safe as we were left to believe (I never really believed it but, with an element of randomnness in how severe and when, it destroys your brain. Nothing that could be reinstructed. Might affect you one day, might not.
Other more reliable combos: two antidepressant, using a modern atypical antidepressant, or a tricyclic, should both be used. After you've failed twice with established tryciclics. Plus, amphetamine (adderally)--which is a much-better established treater of depression than any AAP. Trial that, first.
That said, Latuda seems to have some unique properties. But it's an antipsychotic, so...not a dose more of it for me.
