My wife was diagnosed bi polar 6 or so years ago and was on lamotrigine and overall worked really well for her. So much so that she thought she should stop taking it because she felt like she was cured or that she didn't need it anymore. Fast forward 4 years and things are starting to get a bit shaky again. She went to a new doctor (a general practioner) at the same office because her old dr moved away. She told doc she wanted to start lamotrigine again but instead she put her on Zyprexa after only spending a few minutes with her.  After reading a lot of negative feedback about Zyprexa we decided maybe we should find a new doctor as we cant even get back in with this one for another month.

Any thoughts? Is Lamotrigine something qe can be adamant about if it helped ao much?
Please, any advice is appreciated. I hate seeing my wife suffer.
