Switching meds again... [View all]

So I've FINALLY found a med combo that seems to work well low doses of both Cipralex and Abilify and now I have to switch again! The reason is that Ability isn't covered under the government plan that I'm on. In fact for depression and anxiety usage it may not be covered by any plan as it's primary use is as an anti psychotic. So my DR prescribed Risperidone instead and said hopefully I should see similar effects. It has a greater side effect profile but I'm again on a very very low dose. Let's hope I still feel the positive effects on this new one. One good thing is I already have some positive momentum built up.
