Recommend me an antidepressant

So i was on escitalopram for 4 years and worked wonders until i changed APs. I tried amitryptiline and it caused too heavy sexual problems, then I tried duloxetine and it made me manic with heavy insomnia. Now im on trintellix and not sure if it is working or not. My previous psychiatrists wanted to put me on nortriptyline, but im afraid of hatdcote tricyclics side effects. Any good antidepressant would go with haloperidol?

I really liked mirtazapine but it will make you sleep and eat

@Rainstorm hell yes it does lol! I’m only on low dose 7,5mg mirtazapine and I’m eating nonstop and sleep a lot.

My pdoc tried putting me on it for sleep and it’s helped. I’m on citalopram too so what he’s aiming to do is see if mirtazapine alone can help. That’s up for discussion in my next session with him.

Seroxat worked well for me but might make you manic

my wife swears by generic zoloft…really helps her.

Curcumin, which is a ingredient in Turmeric has good evidence behind it as a agent against major depressive disorder.

The only red flag is that it thins your blood, so you can’t take it if you are already on a blood thinner.

Paxil cr is good.

Watch “kittens and puppies playing” videos on YouTube. Hard for me to stay depressed watching some of those.
