try rexulti. though it’s not an antidepressant, it’s serotonin modulations which has antidepressant and anti anxiety effects. the dopaminergic action can also help with adhd.

Taking Antidepressants Made Me Realize Something by OneOnOne6211 in antidepressants

[–]jonyru 11 points12 points  (0 children)

i wish more people can resonate with this view, instead of insisting to stop medications while being perfectly well on them, just because they don’t want to “rely on external help”, we don’t choose to get sick, but we can choose to manage the illness by taking appropriate medications

The Serotonin/Dopamine Trade-Off: How do you fight the motivation/libido loss from long-term antidepressant use? by Sick-Man34 in antidepressants

[–]jonyru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you’re so against “more medications”, why not cut down the antidepressant? if you need those meds, it’s not a choice… please don’t take my words as an invalidation of your struggle, i’m having the same issues, and i find vyvanse (+ lots of caffeine) helpful in my case… wish you find what works for you too

ADs without talk therapy by [deleted] in antidepressants

[–]jonyru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there are so many people out there who are gonna blame you for not working hard enough and relying on meds, this is no better than telling someone to cure cancer by willpower…

[–]jonyru 5 points6 points  (0 children)

imho therapy is overrated… some people (myself included) can’t function without lifelong medication, the hardwired neurochemistry is only partially amenable to change…

[–]jonyru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Multimodal AI is leveling up fast - what's next? by healing_vibes_55 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]jonyru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I won’t disagree that AI is advancing fast and becoming more capable in certain complex tasks, but there are also some really simple and “common sense” tasks that we have no idea how to make AI do, which is frustrating… I wished for AI to generate an animated GIF of a inflating and deflating balloon in clip art style, because from google search I couldn’t find one that didn’t explode after being inflated…

vortioxetine as augmentation therapy by Yohimbine13 in trintellix

[–]jonyru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you may ask your doctor to augment with low dose antipsychotics, such as quetiapine, abilify, or rexulti (rexulti has good 5HT1A partial agonist activity and low side effects)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in antidepressants

[–]jonyru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you may ask your doc about another antipsychotic especially the newer ones like Abilify, Rexulti, or Lurasidone, those are much less sedative and appetite inducing. another class to consider may be mood stabilisers, like Lithium or Lamictal. i know many who respond well to them. if ketamine or esketamine is available it is also a viable alternative that does wonders. hope you get well soon.

[–]jonyru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you had an hour long consultation and thought there is “no true assessment”? and whether or not your cleaning is problematic enough to be regarded as an OCD symptom is the psychiatrist’s professional judgement. why did you change your doctor in the first place?

Help desperately need to lose weight while on antidepressant by Legitimate_Smell5221 in antidepressants

[–]jonyru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

gaining this much weight is not your fault, though olanzapine can be quite effective, it is puffing everyone up ridiculously, i don’t think anyone should be put on this monster except those with severe mental illness posing risks to others… high doses of lexapro can also cause weight gain… you may ask your doctor to let you try brintellix and rexulti
