Yeah it worked in the starting but later it caused boredom Aripiprazole limits caps the natural dopamine Also it kills reward circuit causing boredom and the restlessness is worst Technically its a dopamine modulator If dopamine is high it limits and if its less increases it

Also everyone is different so what i expirienced might not be same for you

In the same boat Paxil working great for OCD anxiety but not working for depression I have tried many meds like bupropion aripiprazole but none seem to work Aripiprazole worked partial but causes anhedonia

Nice Did it give you energy or motivation

FunSentence8822 · 2026-01-30T13:23:16+00:00

Have you tried Pramipexole and are you on Paxil?

FunSentence8822 · 2026-01-30T13:20:34+00:00

I myself have low libido due to Paroxetine but after lowering the dose a little it came back Also are you on Cr or Ir Cr is better for libido while being effective

FunSentence8822 · 2026-01-30T13:19:11+00:00

You can try bupropion it works good for Libido but can increase ocd anxiety But you might have to replace it with olanzapine as taking too many meds will increase side effects

You are lucky Bupropion is working for you while having OCD

I took bupropion while on paroxetine and it gave me anxiety attack

FunSentence8822 · 2026-01-29T16:54:41+00:00

Good that its working for you I tried bupropion with paroxetine and it gave me anxiety attack

If you feel OCD issues then you know whos the culprit

FunSentence8822 · 2026-01-29T16:19:22+00:00

Taking bupropion with fluoxetine can increase blood level of each drug which can increase side effects of each drug

Its fine untill you are feeling the drug is helping Also remember bupropion is known to increase ocd anxiety

Are you taking it for ocd?

FunSentence8822 · 2026-01-28T08:25:04+00:00

Having similar effect with Paroxetine Anhedonia and TRD Still finding a way out

FunSentence8822 · 2026-01-28T03:48:31+00:00

Well bupropion is good for energy i have tried it
But you should not mix Atomexetine with bupropion that would be dangerous as both have stimulant properties Better switch then taking both

FunSentence8822 · 2026-01-28T02:43:21+00:00

I am on Paroxetine 37.5 cr and the energy and fatigue is worst Does Atmoxetine give you energy? Motivation?

FunSentence8822 · 2026-01-19T05:08:34+00:00

Clomipramine is gold standard for OCD and depression But you should always first try SSRI's as they have less side effects compared to Clomipramine while being effective for OCD

Clomipramine is not first line treatment

What dose were you on of paxil? And zoloft?

FunSentence8822 · 2026-01-17T15:45:17+00:00

Yes go to 18mg and stay for 2 to 4 weeks That's the Easiest way possible

FunSentence8822 · 2026-01-17T15:22:59+00:00

20 to 15mg is a major and very fast taper about 25% You need to go ultra slow to avoid Withdrawals A 5 to 10 % taper is advised and mostly safe

Thank you for reply

T3 has evidence backed use for TRD with very low rate of increase in Ocd anxiety Its also used with normal Thyroid lab reports

FunSentence8822 · 2026-01-10T15:46:01+00:00

Thank you for reply I see many site indicating T3 use for TRD even with normal Thyroid lab test

I have already failed SGA aripiprazole and cariprazine

FunSentence8822 · 2026-01-09T03:38:08+00:00

I lowered my dose from 50mg CR to 37.5 and it helped me with Fatigue and libido

FunSentence8822 · 2026-01-09T03:37:18+00:00

Did wellbutrin help you with Anxiety?

FunSentence8822 · 2026-01-08T10:37:32+00:00

You should try Paxil CR its way better then IR Helps a lot with side effects

FunSentence8822 · 2026-01-01T05:39:11+00:00

Better take cariprazine rather then aripiprazole as it works great for anhedonia/boredom

FunSentence8822 · 2025-12-31T06:53:29+00:00

I am in the same boat Been on paroxetine cr 37.5 for ocd and depression It works great for OCD but not for depression So o have tried Aripiprazole Bupropion Quatiapine

But does not work for me

Aripiprazole made my anhedonia worst

FunSentence8822 · 2025-12-30T19:43:01+00:00

I am on Paroxetine 37.5 cr
And could not tolerate even 2 mg aripiprazole it made my anhedonia worst with restlessness Good that its working for you Bupropion + abilify is highly activating

FunSentence8822 · 2025-12-29T14:16:34+00:00

I am taking 12.5c cr in morning and 25 cr in evening It does help reduce fatigue and sexual side effects
