I have GAD/depression/BP and am currently taking 2400mg Neurontin, 5 mg diazepam, 600 mg Lithobid, and 1.25 mg Zyprexa each day. The Lithobid and Zyprexa are new additions. I have taken lithium carbonate before, but with only minimal success. I am having many glimpses of feeling great! This is likely not a placebo effect (although I never throw any idea out alltogether), as I have really only responded to one other drug (lamictal-for a few months).
Okay, now my question...I usually feel really good in the morning, and then a little after noon I get very dizzy and my dizziness/dissociation, that was always my worst problem, appears in a mild form, but enough to prevent me from wanting to do things.
I would like to know what you guys think I can attribute this to? I realize my zyprexa dose is tiny and that could be the culprit (although it has quite a long half-life). I guess it could be just an adjustment thing too, as I have only been on these new meds about 5 days.
Let me know your thoughts. I know this may not last, but I have seen the beautiful world my friends! It is not a metaphor that things look brighter and the colors are more vibrant. It's real! Best of luck to all and I appreciate your comments.
