> Did you notice any onset of apathy with the Zyprexa? If so, did the Lamictal help??
Yes, exactly that. My initial trial was zoloft/lamictal last fall and I felt too agitated. My p/doc stopped the lamictal and added zyprexa. I did feel quite apathetic to the point where everything seemed meaningless?
My p/doc added lamictal again to ward off the zyprexa apathy. He felt the zyprexa would prevent possible agitation from the lamictal as well. Hope I didn't confuse you? ;-)
Well, it took about 2-3 weeks at my current dose, but I must say I have not felt this stable in years.
I am concerned somewhat with the zyprexa weight-gain, sugars etc. but I'll deal with that as need be.... I'm taking Zyprexa Zydis so that may help? In fact, I now feel it's a small price to pay given what I've been through the past 9 months!
Regards, Rick
