Has anybody used this combination together with Abilify to help negative symptoms? If so, did it help?
Escitalopram makes me manic and psychotic. Be careful with antidepressives if you have bipolar symptoms. It triggered rapid cycling for me and it’s permanent.
I know somebody who has strong negative symptoms and takes abilify + wellbutrin + escitalopram. Overall, she tells me none of these 3 has helped her much, so don’t get your hopes up. Actually it depends on your type of illness; if you have deficit schizophrenia (like she does), most likely they won’t help you much.
I also have deficit schizophrenia; I take abilify + cymbalta + pregnenolone. The latter has brought me some relief, though not much. I’ve also tried sarcosine in the past, without success.
I too am curious about the escitalopram helping with negative symptoms.
I took Wellbutrin and it helped me want to be more social and motivated.
But it sent my blood pressure too high.
Shame, nice med.
