Hi Scott..
I really hope your shape is not to bad. You are really a supportive and giveness person, with a lot of warmth in your personality. It is really an resources to have you on a site like this.
Your knowelles about affecitve disorders are really impressive. You have more to say than many of the pdoc I have met during a couple of years. I really mean this, with no thought of trying to flatter you. I know one have to have knowless if one have an refractary affective disorders of any kind.
Good news in my cases. I have started olanzapin for four days ago. 5 mg at night. I have a very nice result. My depression have lifted, and my sleep is greath. I alwas respond very fast, when a drug worked for me. But I`m very scared for the dam-d poop out. I pray that this not occure for me this time. I know you are also make a trial on olanzapin once with temporary benefites, unfortunately.
My current mix:
T. venlafaxin 225 mg
T. lamotrigine 100 mg
T. litium ( serum level, 0,5 )
T. olanzapine 5 mgI give you my best wishes, and take care of yourself, and please don´t give up, there is allway new med options. I´t is like having an winning ticket, when the right meds are found for you, and finaly kick in.
