In reply to Antidepressants (Effexor) for Bipolar II??, posted by HMK on August 7, 2002, at 10:05:31
Sounds like you may have one those obtuse doctors who reads the latest journal articles that are secretly paid for by anticonvulsant making drug companies who want some of that fat antidepressant money we spend every year. Your doctor should work with you to find what works best for you. Looking at populations of 10,000+ may be good at the internists office and dysthymics in need of prozac, but for the majority of people on this board individual differences seem key.
I don't think the verdict is out yet on the Effexor part of your question, but if Risperdal seemed better than Zyprexa, I see no reason why he wouldn't switch you back aside from some meaningless FDA indication Risperdal will probably have in year anyways...
My shrink refuses to use Zyprexa at all BTW saying he hates it and that it causes as many problems as it's supposed to treat.
