A member asked:

What would be a better anti depressant that includes stabilizing moods, energy and suppressing appetite? i've had no luck with previous prescriptions

Seek a 2nd opinion: A second opinion will help to determine if the previous medications were used in adequate doses and duration. It will also help to establish your diagnosis and the appropriateness of the previously prescribed medications. Good luck.

Trial & error: Sometimes it takes trying a few drugs or combinations of drugs--some pts do better on older drugs like tricyclics also mood stabilizers antipsychotics & even maois are needed. If someone in your biological family is doing well on something that would be worth a try.
