> i have to share xjs 7's opinion on zyprexa. having bp1 means i have had psychosis, so i was taking 20mg of zyprexa at one point. i know a lot of pdocs like using it as a mood stabilizer, but the risks of td and eps isn't worth it. anyway, my feelings are if you need something for anxiety symptoms, benzos are much more effective with little or no s/e. best of luck-judy
i guess it depends on the person...... i used to take high dosages of depakote and got annoying side effects (tremors, sedation) .. but i only take 2.5 mg of zyprexa and have better control of my mood with less side effects
but maybe i just got lucky?
