Dear Matt
>I was very surprised about the comment that poopout could indicate bipolar.
It's a popular theory at the moment.
>I often wonder when a med kicks so wonderfully whether I become slightly manic, or if its just me being thrilled to be alive and free.
I was wondering whether you were mildly hypomanic when Effexor kicked in?
>I've taken Lithium and Lamictal on their own (I'm still on the Lamictal in conjunction with the Effexor) and they haven't touched my depression.
Have you ever taken Lamictal and lithium in combination? Might be useful to try this in future.
>Zyprexa is an anti-psychotic, right?
Yes, it's an atypical AP.
>Could it, in addition to preventing poopout, free me from talking to myself and never living "in the moment"?
Zyprexa can be calming. Some people prefer Seroquel, some prefer Zyprexa. I'm surprised that you haven't tried Zyprexa actually!
Love
Ed
