I also am recently diagnosed, and have been all messed up by being prefunctorily prescribed SSRIs by previous MDs. I have also had a problem with lamictal being a little too activitating.

Is Olanzapine the same drug as Zyprexa?

I hope it works out for you. I am taking Lamictal, Neurontin, and Topamax. Still trying to get it right.
