Lamictal was added long ago in an attempt to fight depression. We thought maybe it was having some effect so we left it for a while, but then by the time I figured out it was likely doing nothing, I had a lot more urgent matters to attend to re: meds, and it's been nonstop ever since, so we're just pulling it now.
Re: zyprexa PRN: not actually a bad question, hmm. Aside from fears of increasing the risk of TD or something, my guess would be that I need more consistent stabilization, but that's just a guess. It may be worth mentioning that to my pdoc. That being said, if I'm using PRN zyprexa to kill a mixed or hypo state I'll typically crash immediately sooooooo... ugh
