> I wouldn't think that moving up to 5.0mg should produce a worsening of depression.It unequivocally does, but only, as aforementioned, when I take 5mg nocte as a single dose. 2.5 bid (which we know is = 5mg) produces no such depression.
Of course, when it comes to psychotropics, almost anything is possible.Tell me about it!!!!
Perhaps it was an unrelated coincidence.
No. It has happened 4 times and always within a week of raising to 5mg nocte.
It makes sense to me to give it another go. You won't know until you try.I will try 5mg again, but only as two seperate doses (2.5 bid) in a days time. No depression results from raising the Zyprexa in this such matter.

It might feel like a worsening of depression to you, but it should pass. Of course, you might not experience this at all. I wanted you to know this so that you wouldn't abort a trial prematurely. Hopefully, the Zyprexa will do the trick, and there will be no need to try other things.

Thanks Scott, when I go to Tasmania for my holidays I will be seeing a proffesor of psychiatry. We will be trying to regain the nardil euphoria, and also rid me of the OCD.I suspect that he, as opposed to my normal family doctor I see, will grant me a trial On Risperidone.
Thanks Scott,
Ace.
