Zyprexa will be good for you. For Zyprexa has been proven to have effects on serotonin, thus it can augment antidepressants. Another study confirmed that last year.
Here are the advantages of Zyprexa, as opposed to most antipsychotics and antidepressants:
--It will calm you down all day; when I took it, I thought it was better than a benzo.
--It has no anticholinergic effects.
--It has no sexual side-effects.
--It will definitely help you sleep.
--Zyprexa is convienient because it is taken only once at night.
--It is covered by insurance, generally.
--It augments antidepressants.
--Despite what rumors go around, Tardive Dyskinesia on Zyprexa is rare.I took 10 mg of it at bedtime, and I had no drowsiness in the morning. I didn't have any weight gain either.
