So, basically what I did is take 5 mg of Zyprexa and added 800 mg of Tegretol.
My mania has dissipated and I notice I feel quite good with the Tegretol-very even. I think I'm going to stay on the Tegretol, only because there is an improvement in affect and very little in the way of side effects. This way I'll definitely be able to stay at 40 mg on the Brintellix.
Unfortunately, I had severe depressive symptoms when I was on Depakote and anger issues even at a 2000 mg dose.
I love Zyprexa-its the duct tape of medications.
>Man, I really would like to see you get well and remain well.
Having OCD and bipolar is a real bitch-the medication for one destabilizes the other!
