[QUOTE="oceans, post: 106195, member: 2687"] Hi Janna. Sorry to see you are still on the medication merry-go-round. I know when Ben started displaying anxiety the psychiatrist said that increasing the Zoloft would be the best thing, but that would have put him at the level we say cognitive dulling in the past. His depression started to go out of control shortly after and we increased the Lamictal. The increase in Lamictal rescued his mood and it also took care of the anxiety. When Ben was on Zyprexa in the past, that also took care of his anxiety, but he gained tons of weight. He seems to do well without it now on the combination he is on. Since you ruled out using mood stabilizers and antipsychotics, I guess you are looking at trying SSRI's. I can't remember...has he tried antidepressants before? [/QUOTE]
