Zyprexa just quit working/dose info?

Posted by AngieT on May 17, 2001, at 13:21:51

I am Bipolar II with rapid cycling and hard to treat mood disorder. I have been on many combo's of meds and have had the best 'result' with Prozac and Zyprexa...I have been on Prozac for 12 years and began with the Zyprexa twice now in the last three months. I started out with 2.5 mg and was doing awesome and then it simply stopped working, went into deep depression, suicidal, doctor increased to 5mg felt great, same thing, just a roller coaster I am now up to 15 mg feeling good now but only been on this dose three days and am so afraid it's going to stop working again. It is SO frustrating because it does miracles for my life when it works. I am so sick and tired worrying about being the lab rat again if the Zyprexa doesn't work. When it works I actually feel ALIVE, I have never in my 26 years, ever felt that good and for it to just keep not working drives me crazy=) Has anyone had this problem? What is the highest dosage? I have read 20 mg, but I know that with other drugs going over the average dosage is sometimes done. I just want some help. Mood stabilizers don't do anything for me, Zyprexa is the only antipsychotic I have been on, and wonder maybe if there is a different one that may work???
