An Antidepressant Drug For 50+ Dad, Need Quick Help

[Stilgar]

I will try and see if we can get him on a penicillin or erythromycin cycle, sounds like a good plan. His thyroid was never checked I think! Do you recommend getting it checked out?

It definitely would be a good idea to get his thyroid checked!

Hi there. I need quick suggestions for anti-depressant measures in the form of drugs and supplements for my slightly overweight dad. He took olanzepine before prescribed by his psychiatrist and nearly died in the hospital due to a thromboembolism induced by the olanzepine. Now he is taking it again!

He most likely has psychiatric illness, borderline and narcissistic, antisocial and histrionic personality disorder. (He floats in between these, cluster B personality disorders)

Quick suggestions are highly appreciated, and the best would be a drug and/or supplement that poses no thrombotic risk!

Thanks!

If pregnenolone doesn't work, maybe some low dose progesterone, which can have calming effects, etc.

Has he had an MRI recently?

Cyproheptadine?

I'd do a lab work and see hormone status, sexual/thyroid/adrenal. Rule out low T and umbalanced estrogen ratios first, and work that road if neccesary. Picking random supplements or pills without knowing whats going on it's risky and could worsen things long term.
