It would be interesting to see how Zyprexa affects you, even if used as a probe for a short trial. One week should be enough to see if it produces an improvement in your condition. It might provide a clue as to which direction to head in. I know one woman who did wonderfully on a combination of Zyprexa and Trileptal. She was being treated for BPD. Concurrent treatment using CBT helped a great deal. I know we are not sure if you have BPD, but perhaps there are overlapping etiologies.Trileptal, like its cousin drug, Tegretol, is good for reducing anger, irritability and impulse control.
