I had an appt with pdoc today and he gave me a script for Zyprexa 2.5mg PRN (up to twice/day, but we both understand I'll take only take it occasionally). My dx is major recurrent depression, not in a current episode although working towards it at this rate... with a 2nd dx of "triggered like crazy" recently. I also take 50mg lamictal/day which seesm to help me depression. I'm very petite and tend to be sensitive to small doses of things. I also have xanax prn 0.25mg, sometimes I'll take 0.5mg... it helps with anxiety but my greater problem now isnt quite anxiety.. it's more just the emotional intensity when the triggers hit me hard in the last week or so, and I cant get out of it, and end up feeling self destructive. Hoepfully that makes sense.
So, anyone know anything about zyprexa as a PRN? Anyone tried this? What should I expect?
