Hi John.It's nice to see you again.
I should have known it was too early to post good news. I don't feel bad, but I don't feel as well as I did during my first week on Zyprexa. I have tried Zyprexa three times. All three times, it has produced a significant improvement for about a week to ten days before plateauing and fading. If nothing else, I am consistent. Damned brain. I'm going to keep the Zyprexa, though. I believe in it.
Right now, I'm taking:
Lamictal 300mg
Nardil 90mg
Zyprexa 5.0mgI have a doctor appointment Wednesday. I think he will be in favor of dumping Nardil. However, I won't feel satisfied that it was fully explored until I try adding desipramine 300mg. I don't expect it to work, since Nardil + desipramine, while helpful, has represented a bit of a dead-end. Who knows? Unfortunately, almost no one.
I'll let you know what happens Wednesday.
:-)
A smile just for the hell of it.
I hope all is well with you.
- Scott
