Hi.I'm sorry that you are so alone. I know the feeling. For a very long time, Psycho-Babble was my only social outlet. It did make me feel connected.
I once added Risperdal to Parnate and found that it did have some antdipressant effects. Although I think the chances of Zyprexa providing relief are better, I can understand the reluctance in taking something that has the potential to produce so much weight gain. I like Abilify. Of the neuroleptics I have tried, it has produced the best antidepressant effect. Since studies have shown that Prozac + Zyprexa is better than either drug alone for treating resistant cases of depression, Prozac + Risperdal or Prozac + Abilify sound like sound alternatives.
I hope that posting on PB gives you a sense of connectedness.
