First, thank you for your thoughtful response. I appreciate it.
Ironically, my new med combo includes a mood stabilizer for exactly the reasons that you mentioned! I am now taking Lamictal in the daytime (50mg twice a day) in addition to Zyprexa and Klonopin at night for sleeping.
My pdoc has taken me off any SSRI, because she has also come to the belief that many people (me being one of them) who have been considered "unipolar depressive" may indeed tend toward "rapid cycling" and therefore be BipolarII (usually not full blown BiPolar). And this is indeed reflected by the growing number of people (among whom I am now a member!) who find far more relief in using a mood-stablizer without an a-d.
Thanks again for your kind wishes.
