Depression only or also Schizophrenic

Posted by Youri5 on March 13, 2008, at 9:23:55

Hi All,

Two years ago I had a Psychosis, the first time so far.

I was put on Risperdal.

We soon found out that I was Anhedonic and i was diagnosed with Depression. We first tried Cipramil (a SSRI), but that had no effect.
So we tried a TCA, Nortrilen which helped a bit.

Since it only helped a bit I was diagnosed with Schizophrenia (Desorganised form).

After that we changed Risperdal for Clozapine, which also helped a little with the Anhedonia (could be because I stopped Risperdal or because of the Clozapine. That remains unclear).

My question is: can an antidepressant work partially, so that it is possible that I'm not Schizophrenic but still only Depressed?

Greetz, YouriF
