I am starting to feel much better on the Zyprexa than I did on the Geodon.
> Prozac and zyprexa combo is a good one and I am surprised it is not employed more often. It is well researched for your needs, including bipolor and treatment resistant depression.
I'm treating ADHD/OCD/BIPOLAR II
> SSRIs can sometimes be used as monotherapy for bipolar depression, with destabilization avoided by starting at very low doses and increasing very slowly. Zyprexa onboard helps a ton.
The Prozac is onboard to treat OCD primarily.
> First, Lithium might be way too high.
I found that at lower doses my mood was way too labile.
> Keppra I do not know enough to comment on. I would just take a moment to reassess why you are taking it and ask yourself what it is doing.Keppra I take for chronic daily headaches which it treats very well. It also helps with anxiety.
> Memantine, my guess is it is probably hurting more than helping.
I take the Memantine as augmentation for treating OCD. It seems to reduce some of the intrusive thoughts.
