I can't answer your question. However, I can attest to the fact that Saphris (asenapine) exerts an antidepressant effect. I observed it in me, although I didn't remain improved for very long. I also observed it in a friend of mine who has schizoaffective disorder. She responded to Saphris immedicately, and has remained well on it for a few years. It has also cleared up her thinking. She continues to take Navane (thiothixene), which has helped to prevent paranoia. She was able to discontinue Abiify and Seroquel, and has lost a great deal of weight.

I was just speaking to a Dr and he would do the frown line botox thing. But the procedure is not really my taste. Probably i will wind up waiting for the Dr appointment in 9 days to get the Saphris.
Is it safe to say that Lyrica is way less addictive than lorazepam? I wanna ask him about Lyrica, too.
It looks like peace of mind wont come to me unless i am on 20mg Zyprexa and 1k Seroquel :( Maybe the Saphris can replace some of that, maybe not. Will see.

you may want to talk with your doctor, something like lyrica for anxiety, i know benzo's are not really in the situation, but also you may want to try this stuff called phenibut, it's orderable online and it acts as a GABA b agonist, it does similar anti-anxiety effects without the sedation......
what doctors are going to consider, i've wanted to try other drugs, and my doctor declined..... you have to work with your doctor to get on a treatment that works for you, ask to switch or consider him or her to add a new medication for anxiety or depression, or both

Sorry, maybe I missed a post, but if you get peace of mind from zyprexa and seroquel, why do you want to switch to something else. Can't beat peace of mind.

when you depressed and anxious, the main thing is serotonin is low or deregulated in the brain.....sometimes there's too much serotonin in one section of the brain, and other's too low, your on zyprexa and seroquel, those defiantly can numb you out, but may ask about a serogenic antidepressant, effexor is good, stimulating, but something that will increase serotonin would help, add a mood stabilizer like lamictal with it too
