[QUOTE="oceans, post: 33929, member: 2687"] We don't really have a diagnoses either. We have the MDD diagnoses, and the possible ADD diagnoses (which was his first diagnoses). There is more going on then that, but they will not diagnose until more symptoms present themselves. The difference is, that with us they are treating the symptoms and the medication is working. They also agreed to add the Lamictal after 3 yrs of medications not working and me continually asking them to try it for 1 1/2 yrs. From what you are describing, the dosage of Zyprexa they have him on does not seem to be doing the job. It is not enough to keep him stable. I would want to talk to the psychiatrist about that fact. It could be that he is on too low a dose, or that Zyprexa alone is not going to be enough. He might, in fact, need a mood stabilizer in place. I hope that you can talk to this psychiatrist about what you are seeing at home...that he is not stable yet. I am glad to hear that you have a number of a new psychiatrist to work closer with. It is a long road to travel in finding the right medication combination. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
