In reply to Panic Attacks caused by Zyprexa? HELP!, posted by Lin on June 19, 2000, at 20:56:41
Lin,
I am kind of surprised by this reaction because usually Zyprexa has a sedating effect and tends to calm you down. Did the panic attacks start within 2 or 3 days of the Zyprexa? Usually you will get the effects of Zyprexa within this time period?
Also, why did you start Zyprexa? It seems like an odd combination to me - a mood stabilizer with an antipsychotic.
I used to have panic attacks and currently take Zyprexa without any recurrences.
Talk to your pdoc and ask him/her about this reaction.
Chris
