Thank you for your answer.
I would like to increase the dosage of lamictal, but I can't because if I increase it, I can't sleep anymore, even with Zyprexa taken before going to bed.
For the small dosage of zyprexa, it's because it's only to stabilize my mood, not for psychotic condition. And I've read somewhere that a smaller dosage is enough for mood stabilizing. Do you agree with that, or do I have a wrong information ?
