I wonder how difficult it would be to find a pharmacy that carries it?

I tried the anticonvulsants but one caused liver enzymes to go out of control and the others just didn't work on the mania.

Yes, it's a real dichotomy for me. Treat the mania so I don't lose my job or my marriage like I nearly did in the past, or treat the ADD so I can focus on the things I am faced with in my Zyprexa-induced state of reality.

Thanks for your input.
