Isn't there EPS with that? I'm not criticizing your selection; rather, I'm just thinking out loud. The reason the antipsychotic action of Surmontil (in high doses) appealed to me was because I was thinking...OK, AP in high doses, probably won't trigger anything "crazy" in lower doses. My psychosis is fairly well-controlled. I just don't want to get flipped into an episode of some sort.
Honestly, I don't know if I can even get a tca. Its Public Mental Health, and they're pretty much all about risk reduction, so its probably going to have to be something newer. Do you think medium dose Remeron? Then again...my shrink (effective dose of neuroleptic, low dose everything else) probably wouldn't want to go mid-to-high dose, at least not to start.
Are there any good, anxiolytic, anti-agitation meds you can think of that might get good results reasonably quickly, at a fairly low starting dose? I do like the wellbutrin+sri idea, but my doc would probably be like...one or the other. Or shoot down wellbutrin altogether, given my recent history of agitation and mild psychosis. Actually, she shot down ANY AD a while ago. I thought a low dose of something might curb my looping thoughts.
Maybe I should just give the neurontin more time before I start playing "better living through chemistry" ?
Thanks for any thoughts you may have, SLS (or anyone else, for that matter).
