It's better than nothing but I'm not satisfied with this approach. I don't want to seem ungrateful, I'm very grateful for Zyprexa I'd just like to find a better way.

Denise,Did you ever consider that you might just do well on the 10mg Zyprexa daily if you cut back the Lexapro? Have you tried this approach? Combo of both meds just may be what your looking for.
