OS,

That sucks.
The following drugs made me think about suicide more:
amoxapine (Ascendin)
bupropion (Wellbutrin)
idazoxan
mirtazepine (Remeron)
moclobemide (Aurorix, Manerix)
protriptyline (Vivactil)
reboxetine (Edronax)
triiodothyronine (Cytomel)I hope no one decides not to try one of these drugs based upon my negative experiences with them.
> > As with any other treatment decision, one must weigh the risks versus the potential benefits of choosing to take Zyprexa to augment antidepressants. I have tried a whole bunch of things to treat my bipolar depression without success. When I decided to try Zyprexa, I did so with the information available concerning the risks of it producing EPS or TD. I thought the rates of occurrences of these things were low enough to feel comfortable taking it - especially at dosages of 5.0mg and less.
