Medication keeps working then not?

I’m getting frustrated. My dr keeps adjusting my medication. First I was on seroquel and she just kept upping it because it would work then stop. Now I’m on zyprexa. Just started maybe 2 months ago. It worked well for a month or so and now my symptoms are back and really strong. I’m pretty suicidal. I’m tired of everything. I cant even handle going to work right now. I hope I dont lose my job. What should I do

Have you tried abilify? There’s some evidence to suggest it doesn’t suffer from this effect of stopping working.

“tachyphylaxis” means it stops working. A fancy way of saying pooping out.

Is abilify an SSRI?

Abilify pooped out on me. That’s why my doc put me on Zyprexa.

It’s an antipsychotic.

All I can say is I’ve been on it for nearly 6 years and it hasn’t stopped working yet…
