I have the options of Brintellix of Luvox and of Pristiq.
I am leaning towards Luvox since it appears to have the lowest risk of psychosis to me.

i once added luvox to a coctail and went on a very very bad trip for weeks... i and my doc werent really aware of the interactions at that point of time... or at least my doc just didnt care and maybe thought "it wont be that bad" or whatever...

I'm sorry to hear that you're not doing well. I hope that with the help of your doctor that you'll find a way to get the peace of mind that you need. I don't think that I have the knowledge needed to suggest one particular medication or another for your situation, so all I feel that I can say is to be as open with your doctor as possible so that the doctor will have as much information as possible available when making a decision on your treatment.
Until you get a chance to talk to your doctor, please take care of yourself. If you feel the need to reach out for urgent help before tomorrow, don't hesitate to do so.

I'd take Pristiq myself...a lil activation never hurt anybody.
What's your goal dose for the neuroleptic(s)
Maybe a good AD will help w/ the neuroleptic taper/reduction. Before I got on a full 400mgs/day Wellbutrin SR, I was popping low dose risperdal and/or gabapentin to keep myself calm(er). Now that the Wellbutrin has had time to work at a full dose, I'm much less reliant on the PRN meds.
Good luck!

I think you are not doing well, because of the reduced zyprexa. Thats what that usually means with me.

I dont think its the Zyprexa, Zyprexa.
Zyprexa never helped against depression.
My doctor prescribed Nortryptiline.
