<font color="purple"> I am currently on 2.5 mgs Zyprexa(very low dose) Have been on 10mgs before which worked better therapeutically except for the sleepness.
Sometimes hard to know whether current dose does much good .

Previous to being shifted to a PD NOS i was dxed bipolar (Have had fair number of official dx and unofficial ie suggested in my notes over the years).

Something has been puzzling me somewhat . Some time ago i was taken of all meds for a while pdocs whim not my choice and hit depressive patch.
Pd doc said he was reluctant to prescribe me an AD because of possible negative effect on my moods hence he put me on low dose Zyprexa which i know has mood stabilising properties though more on the above as opposed to below threshold symptoms .

What puzzled me is why the concern about the effect of an AD on my moods when i am no longer seen as being bipolar.

As far as i know hesitancy to prescribe an AD on it's own is due to fear of 'switching' in people reckoned to be bipolar.

My moods tend to be reactive though not exclusively so and can change quite a lot . Would say they are more of a depressed come mixed nature- dysphoric rather than euphoric.

Tend to be prone to both ' Don't want to get out of bed' type depressions and what i call 'positively charged' depressions ie tense/uptight and vocal but in a negative/feisty kind of way with a fair bit of anxiety/irritability/ rejection sensitivity and paranoia thrown into the mix.
