My vote is for none of the above. Instead, I will place my bet on Zyprexa. Without going into an explanation of why, I personally think Zyprexa would be a strong bet. I have many reasons for feeling that way. I would favor it over the other three choices. In my opinion it would be a good strategy to try Zyprexa 5mg to 10mg, and then after 4 weeks decide if you like it or not. If not, then you can go back and try the others. To do it in the reverse order I think would lead to more frustration and more time. The quickest and surest bet I can think of is Zyprexa. No guarantees, but a real good bet.
