Then I was put on Zyprexa and they switched me from Welbutrin to Lamictal, which is amazing!! It's a mood stabalizer, but totally pulled me out of a major depression. I have lots of mixed episodes, so I need the Zyprexa/Lamictal combo.

I hope you got some sleep. Maybe ask about Lamictal?
OMG! I went in for depression and was prescribed Welbutrin which cycled me hard, so I go back in because the depression was harder so they prescribed an even higher dose. This happened a few more times. I always thought the feel good mood (mania) was the bodies response of coming out of depression. Lol

This went on for 2 years I was nutz.
