>wanted to stop eating so much so i dropped to 5 but cant remember exactly when.
That is a problem with Zyprexa. Have you ever tried another AP without the 'fat' side effects?
>i've been on a slue of 'mood stabilizers' and they all have created mood swings about everyother day
Were you on high enough doses?
>i believe this is the result of my going up to 100 on pristiq
That's not really all that high for Pristiq-you can go up to 300mg. It may or not be the cause of your cycling. Although 10 mg of Zyprexa seemed to counter it just fine.
>so pdoc instead of augmenting with another ad he upped pristiq.
Either way, augmenting with another AD or upping your Pristiq would have turned up the same consequences.
>i'm refusing lithium for personal reasons and see that as my last resort. and i mean last last resort.
Why? Lithium is neuroprotective, helps with mania and dysphoria. Its good for your brain.
>still feeling a little 'icky' blue this morning.
Its hard to account for your depression when you're on Pristiq. Maybe its the Perphanizine-it can cause depression.
