Hi.

As Scott's post intimates, Zyprexa may be of most benefit to you if *added* to the Zoloft. A couple of recent studies have reported synergistic effects btwn the SSRIs & the atypicals (of which Zyprexa is one).

Potentially this combination could allow for a lower dose of Zoloft and/or improved response (you said yourself yr syptoms are only 'controlled'; you should expect more).

Also, you talk of a bipolar family history and I think I'm right in saying Zyprexa has just received FDA approval for this indication (manic phase).

I took 5mg/day of Zyprexa briefly and found it took the edge off my depression & was quite calming. The only real drawback was increased appetite...

Just a coupla thoughts,
Jah.
