I suppose the pdoc could add an antidepressant, but I just hate the whole thing where the person is given multiple meds - with each new med needed to offset a side effect of the previous med.
Eh, just got an answer from the pdoc. He's talking about increasing rather than decreasing the Zyprexa. Or adding a mood stabilizer. This isn't what I want!
