I have been treating for many years for BP with treatment resistant depression, anxiety and severe OCD. I've been on just about every known med at therapeutic levels.

Right now I'm on Remeron 45mg, Abilify 20mg, Luvox 200mg, and Xanax. The Remeron and Abilify are fine in terms of side effects, though I don't really see efficacy. I can't stand the Luvox because of the SEs; it does reduce the mental aspect of the anxiety better than the Xanax--but basically that just means flattening my affect, so overall it's not a great trade-off.

I've got a well-respected psychiatrist in terms of pharmacology (I've actually had pharmacists bring that to my attention), so I will stick to this regimen to see if it works even though it's not working out too well right now. But the combo might be helpful to others, so I mention it.
