I too felt the same kind of subtle improvement as you with Remeron in the mix, and I still had some dips, like you, but when I changed to Zyprexa instead of Remeron, a whole new world opened up for me. The two drugs feel similar in a lot of ways, except that Zyprexa has a much broader effect on dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin than does Remeron. In your case, you could keep the Effexor where it is, possibly reduce Lamictal dosage, and add 5mg Zyprexa at dinner time. No Remeron.

Thanks for replying.

I`m being treated by a specialist at the minute (and for the foreseeable future), so I really have to go along with his `plan`. I`m not sure what the situation would be re. suggesting new meds etc - although I would like to. I may broach the subject with him before I`m discharged - i.e. just ask him whether input would be welcomed or not.

The other thing is that I don`t know what Zyprexa is. Is it a US thing? It may go under another name in this country (UK). What is it`s generic name?

Anyway, thanks again - all input is gratefully received.

Ta,

Anna.
