Anyone Bipolar I on Zyprexa try switching to Lamictal?? I'm quite content on Zyprexa. It really causes me to sleep deeply and has taken away my delusional thinking. I tend to be on the manic end of the bipolar spectrum.
My daughter in law started on Lamictal and loves it, so I am thinking about trying it. My concerns are that I will lose the deep sleep and will become delusional again, if not flat out manic!
Does trying lamictal make sense in my case? I'm half thinking that I need the antipsychotic effects of zyprexa that I won't get from lamictal.
Any thoughts?
