> Yes, Zyprexa is an antipsychotic. It most likely wouldn't make you psychotic, but it could conceivably do a lot of bad things to you, like cause a movement disorder. If you have depression and anxiety there are better options than Zyprexa. There are reasons why Zyprexa is not approved for the treatment of depression and anxiety. I hope this helps.

> xjs7hmmmm... i don't worry too much about movement disorders.... (mine passed after 3 weeks)
i think the worst side effect to be afraid of is numbness...
numb tongue, numb teeth, .... i would immediately discontinue (when used for non psychotic depression or anxiety etc)
