Low-dosage risperdone produced a transient improvement of depression for me. It lasted for about about a week. I had similar experiences with Zyprexa and Geodon. The only AP that has produced a persistent improvement for me has been Abilify.
Since each of our neurobiologies are unique, I don't think it makes sense to generalize my reactions to APs to anyone else. Some people do well with Seroquel - even as monotherapy. Seroquel was not at all helpful to me. On the contrary, it produced dysphoria and irritability.
What other drugs are you considering to use as adjuncts?
What are your prominent symptoms?
