It's only been a few days and god I miss my Zyprexa. It was my miracle drug. Made me feel normal for the first time in 9 years! Problem was...I gained about 30 or 40 lb (afraid to weigh myself) in a matter of months.
So my pdoc took me off them and started me on Lamactil. Now I'm more than willing to forge ahead with the Lamactil since it appears to be the gold standard for bipolar, but I'm only on day 4 of the 25mg, so with the titration schedule, I have a long way to go. I can say I am "functional" and trying to have patience.
Is it possible to add a very low dose of Zyprexa until I reach the therapeutic doses of Lamactil?

Thanks for listening!
