Hi Denise,

Since you benefit so much from Zyprexa, I definately think you should consider treatment with an atypical AP on daily basis, at least for a while.

I know you want to reserve Zyprexa as an 'emergency med'. Seroquel and Abilify can have antidepressant properties. Like Zyprexa, Seroquel is sedating, Abilify much less so - can be 'activating'.

Seroquel can be started at 25mg in the evening. The dose is increased gradually. Abilify can be started at 2.5mg daily (one quarter of a 10mg tablet, the smallest size currently available in the UK). 2.5-15mg Abilify can be used to treat depression.

Kind regards

~ed
