It was hard for me to function on just the Zyprexa. The Depakote was added because I was still having troubles while on the Zyprexa and Lithium, and things became worse. I have a 5 month old and I could barely take care of her. I'd be willing to keep the Lithium, and try Loxitane with it, but he's just so against a "dinosaur" medication. I definitely suffer from paranoia and delusions. I've never had a full blown psychotic episode.
