In reply to treating depression w/o an antidepressant on board, posted by Roslynn on January 17, 2019, at 14:21:54
Saphris may be superior to Seroquel as an anti-depressant. Of course, response varies. And most likely your insurance doesn't carry it-- but maybe. There's odd little eddies within insurance policies.
(In addition, Saphris didn't leave me as out of it.)
Good luck :-)
