Whoa, I'm hearing mood swings in there, what is your dx? Come to find out, Effexor was swinging my mood a bit too, but pdoc continued me on it and added Lamictal. Lamictal, BTW, is sooo much more a first choice over lithium. In general--in general--the more modern drug beats the old ones.And tweaking anxiety with benzos is an excellent way to be able to tolerate any med that is otherwise beneficial.
Do you take your Zyprexa before bed? It is a FAB drug, for bipolar and lots else--IF it doesn't cause weight gain.
But that's a pretty high dose. You may be outside the window where it helps. With some of these meds, like Zyprexa and Provigil, more is not better, and we have to readjust our thinking!Best,
Zo
