Fluanxol (flupenthixol) for Bipolar ???

Posted by Dingbat on November 6, 2004, at 7:21:16


Hi

I've recently been diagnosed Bipolar II. I'm on a mood stabiliser (Epilim CR 1500mg daily, aka valproate) and Zyprexa 5mg at night. The Zyprexa doesn't seem to help me or my pocket (it's hellish expensive) very much. A while back I used Fluanxol (flupenthixol tablets) 2mg daily, and it worked better than Zyprexa (for me) --- even my wife (who is usually very anti-meds) 'liked me on Fluanxol'.

I will need to discuss switching from Zyprexa to Fluanxol with my doctor, but would like opinions/info on its use in bipolar (particularly bipolar II) before doing so.

Any opinions/info, etc. would be most appreciated.

Regards

Dingbat
