> yeah, I've heard lithium does that, which is why I'm always so confused as to why docs use it for unipolar MDD. Seems like you'd want to lift your patients up a bit, not slow them down, right? Hmmm...

Yes; I hated lithium for this. When I discontinued it, I became better soon. I tried low-dose lithium many years later, but that didn't work for depression either.

> Anyway, I was skeptical of AAPs for depression at first (I have to take a full dose of Abilify for craziness), but it seems like a lot of people respond quite well, especially to zyprexa and Seroquel.

I was skeptical to both old and atypical antipsychotics after bad experinces with perphenazine, chlorpromazine and risperiodone. But when I searched for medication for treatment-resistant depression seven years ago, I found an article about Seroquel helping for TRD, and then I asked my psychiatrist to try it as add-on to my antidepressants. I am still satisfied with Seroquel.
