Hello,
I am currently trying lithium and Prozac, neither of which seem to be helping me this time round, I keep hitting rock bottom, the lithium just makes me feel sick and listless. When I take a Zyprexa this seems to lift me out of the slump and gives me the energy to on for a few more days. I really think that the Zyprexa is helping me and I am so grateful for it but am torn between taking it and not taking. I've read some of the horror stories I've read on this board concerning Tardive Dyskinesia. Sometimes I think I'd rather be not depressed and twitch a bit than be depressed without the twitches but then I think maybe I should explore every other avenue (even ECT) before succombing totally to Zyprexa. Has anyone any opinions which is better for me Zyprexa or ECT?
