Collete,
One of the best things about Zyprexa is that you should know within a week just how you are going to react to it. You will probably get some initial sedation from it so take it after dinner and get a good nights sleep. Low doses (like 2,5 mg) seem to work great for sleep and anxiety which may be caused by other meds like Prozac.
The best thing that Zyprexa ever did for me was to stop the racing obsessive thoughts running through my head.
I hope it works out for you,
Chris
> After one week of Depakote, I saw my pdoc(my second visit with him) and asked about Zyprexa (as well as other other meds that I have learned about here). My situation is that I have been on Prozac since it first came out and the last few years it seems as if it's just not working as well as it used to. We are hoping that the Zyprexa will help me with my falling & staying asleep problems as well as "perk" up the Prozac. I am starting with 2.5mg each night. I will post my results. Depakote, at 125 mg did nothing for me at all.
