Hi I am a 24 f who has been medicated for depression for 12 years. I was on pristiq 200 mg. I m still in the transition of changing onto aeropax and would like to know if it is nessisary to take an antiphyscotic medication like abilify. I m not sure of anything at the moment and my doctor just keeps giving memore and more medications. I m in a very venerable and getting very scared in my current mental state. Am I doing the right Thing by taking thiis medication ???

HiI understand your concern.There is nothing like best medicines.It is only that selection of medicines are the best according to your symptoms of depression.Every drug come with different indication.Pristiq contain desvenlafaxin and it is SNRI, very good drug for depression.Sometimes add on anti psychotic drug will help in depression.Abilify contain aripriprazole which had a role in depression also.Combination of antidepressant and anti psychotic can be advisable in chronic and resistant depression.So a have a faith in your doctor and do no tthink much about treatment.If require then take second opinion also.I hope i have answered your query.Happy to help you.Thank you.Get well soon.
