I have a diagnosis of Bipolar 2 with a very slow cycle and a large element
of Seasonal affective disorder. Ten years ago when I was eventually diagnosed I was put on 5mg olanzapine which stopped my psychosis,
auditory and visual hallucinations in their tracks. I was left with a mood that
was as predicted somewhere just below normal and have been there ever since. I very rarely shower or clean my teeth which has recently resulted
in me having a full dental clearance. Although my depressed state is now my normal and is tolerable and my mood is relaxed. I have read on this forum that flouxitine can be taken with olanzapine to improve mood.
Has anyone tried this ? im not to keen on the suggested side effects.
should I be satisfied with my not intollerable present condition or should I
try flouxitine ? apart from the occasional mild mood swing and he fact that I sleep for at least twelve hours a night and I have a lack of energy I feel that things could be a lot worse.

Your thoughts please
