Hi all,
I've been feeling very good as of late (2 weeks) with my current cocktail;
Lamictal - 125mg
Zyprexa - 5mg
Zoloft - 50mg
Clonazepam - 0.5mgI will be increasing lamictal to 150mg and hopefully achieve a final set-point that will last for many moons!!
Thanks to everyone here for your continued support.
Regards, Rick

> Thanks to everyone here for your continued support.I am very happy that you hit the right targets. I think you are doing the right thing with the Lamictal. You still have plenty of room to work with. 200mg is a pretty common dosage. There is also a lot of room left to be able to tweak the Zoloft should it be necessary.
Good luck and have fun.

Great news and I think Scott is right. There's lots of room to twick things if you should need to.
Enjoy the good days. And here's hoping for many more.

Ricker-
Did you notice any onset of apathy with the Zyprexa? If so, did the Lamictal help??
Thanks - and SO GLAD to hear this is working for you!!

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
