In reply to ZYPREXA?, posted by TomG on April 5, 2003, at 16:33:31
> I take 300mg of Lamictal and 5mg of Zyprexa for bipolar II. I was on 2.5mg Zyprexa for one month before moving on to 5mg. I got relief from one of the two drugs for about 5 days when I hit 275mg of the Lamictal and the 3rd week of being on the 5mg of Zyprexa. I don't know what drug was helping. I go to my psych on Monday. Has anyone had relief from Zyprexa on a 5mg dose and then have it stop working? I thought maybe raising the Lamictal to 300mg may prove sucessful, but it hasn't. Any Zyprexa or Lamictal sucess stories in tweaking doses would be appreciated.

> TomYes, Tom, Zyprexa worked wonders for me as did Risperdal. However, Risperdal caused me to lactate and Zyprexa caused rapid weight gain. Now I take Seroquel(similar) which does not cause gain. These drugs help greatly with some depressions. MIMI
