> You sound like you are reading my mind. This time round Zyprexa is the only drug which has helped me when the SSRIs and tryciclics used to. I too cannot quite come to terms with the fact that it is an Anti Psychotic that is helping me and not an AD. This is bugging me so much that I keep coming off it, am now trying lithium, prozac, Sam-e, St Johns Wort, B Complex vitamens, omega 3 fatty acids,none of which are doing anything at all. Sometimes when I take 10mg of Zyprexa I actually feel quite good the next day but I can't seem to accept the fact that an AP is helping me and an AD istn't. I just wish I could just take 20mg of Paxil like I used to and the depression would instantly lift. I'm still not sure whether to give in and just take the Zyprexa or not, I'll continue to read the arguments for and against and see if I can somehow persuade myself that taking them istn't so bad.

> DeniseDid you try Anafranil and get a good blood level of that? How about high dose Buspar augmentation of high dose Luvox? I hate to hear about people with OCD having to resort to atypical anti-psychotics.
