That was a refreshingly clear, well-structured post Sandra! I think Zyprexa is most likely the drug causing the blunting - it's notorious for that. Zyprexa, Lexapro and Klonopin are probably responsible for the anorgasmia, but mostly the Lexapro and Zyprexa (based on my own experiences). I'd keep the Lamictal for now, especially if you're staying on the Klonopin as benzos can cause emotional lability and a short temper (a bit like alcohol can) when taken alone. I had good results with Lamictal/Klonopin combo, so I know that can work. I've also experienced that feeling of fear starting to creep into every corner of life - far more pervasive than the original, and it's a common problem with long-term benzo use. Long term, it may be better to reserve them for p.r.n (as required) use, and Xanax (if you can get it in Costa Rica) is a probably better for that purpose and less likely to cause depression.
