sure its worth a shot. its the only med that really works for me, except this last time i gained 35lbs in 3 mo.... but i stayed on it from oct to feb. Spring i do better (normally).
anyway. abilify was HORRIBLE for me. extreme physical aggitation, anger, manicy crap.
and seroquel was great at knocking me out but made me dumb as a box of hammers.ask some others how the zyprexa works compared to those two.
all i know is that i can take zyprexa and within 24-48 hours i start getting relief.
and most meds that i've tried i cant take because it increases serotonin (SSRI's) are all out. although Effexor was prob one of the worst i've been on, Pristiq has been great for the last couple years (for the most part). i need additional to get me over the bump.I wish you the Best.
these quys here will help you figure out something.
and btw, SLS is the Best!he always has a great knowledgeable shout out.

> Thanks! Unfortunately Abilify and Seroquel made things worse (anything that increases serotonin makes me manic) so I don't think Zyprexa would be an option since it works in a similar way I think. I appreciate it though!
