sometimes buspar (buspirone) is used to boost antidepressants. i didn't much care for it, but its probably safer (and cheaper) than the tranquilizers.

i take a good bit of abilify daily, for...I think they're going with Bipolar I. I'm not gung ho about it, but...its better than any other 'atypical' i've ever tried. i take loads of b-vitamins and antioxidants with it (Orthomolecular), to make it easier tolerate and reduce the TD risk. so far, so good...i tolerate it, 0 eps, 0 TD.

i do wish doctors would -not- prescribe the 'atypicals' to so many people. i mean...they're serious drugs, at any dose. i think if someone needs a tranquilizer, the 'atypicals' sometimes offer a good alternative to the old drugs, but...lots of people are on 'atypicals' who probably don't need the risks, costs, etc.
