Over sensitivity to several brands of (aap). what is probability that 1st gen (ap) would have better tolerance for bipolar depression?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No Basis: There are no first generation antipsychotics that work for Bipolar Depression. Try Latuda (lurasidone) or Symbiax (zyprexa+prozac) or take Lithium. It might help you to get pharmacogenomic testing to see how you metabolize medications. It won't help for efficacy but will give some suggestions for tolerability. Otherwise just start at lower dosages.
