In reply to zyprexa or lamictal ?, posted by sigolene on September 27, 2005, at 2:58:13
Did you just start on these 2 drugs? Both doses are starting dosages. Most people take about 200 mg of Lamictal and 10 mg Zyprexa.
But it's important to start at a low dose of Lamictal (25 mg), then very gradually increase to 200 or so. For Zyprexa, most people start at 5 mg, then go to 10 mg unless they are predisposed to hypotention.
If your doctor allows you to increase the dose of each drug, you might feel better.
> 1) I'm bipolar II rapid cycle. I take very small dosage of lamictal (25mg) and 5 mg zyprexa. But I feel extremely irritable and agressive. Do you know which of these two medications can cause that ?
