Sebastian,Might seem morbid, but I'm glad to see i'm not the only one... :) Zyprexa sounds pretty hardcore, a few potential side-effects... Did you start going on it specifically because of pot-related problems? Its the first I've heard of it for use in this type of situation is all.
Wellbutrin, as I've put in a seperate post, is an option I have really strongly been considering, most probably as an alternative to the SSRI I'm on. Was thinking about starting the WB whilst still on the SSRI, no pot, see how things go, if its working well, then I'll drop the SSRI and see how things are with just the WB.
And yes - i do find keeping away from ciggs helps heaps too - they just deaden me.
Thanx for ur help!
