>Lithium 300 mg. tid.
I doubt this provides any therapeutic value.
>my mood-swing getting more often during the day, then I increased double-dosage to 10 mg.
Why did you decide to raise your Zyprexa rather than your Lithium-this may be the reason your depression is still there. Zyprexa does nothing to treat the depressive aspects of your disorder, but Lithium does.
>Just wondering whether there is/are new form of anti-depressants which might alleviate the depression side of my Bipolar II?
There are a couple of things you can do: 1. Raise your Lithium-this may help with your depression 2. Add on Lamictal, 200 mgs-This is another mood stabilizer with strong antidepressant qualities. 3. Add on Riluzole.
Why can't you tolerate SSRIs?
