Zyprexa (olanzapine) is becoming increasingly recognized as being a potent adjunct for bipolar depression and other treatment-resistant depressions (TRD). I am currently experiencing encouraging results with the following combination:
Lamictal 300mg
Nardil 90mg
Zyprexa 5.0mgZyprexa has been combined successfully with the SSRIs. In fact, Eli Lilly, the manufacturer of both Prozac and Zyprexa, has combined these drugs into a single preparation and will likely be approved for the indication of bipolar depression and perhaps later for TRD and psychotic depression.
