Hi:
It sounds to me like your Zyprexa 5 mg. is quite 'High' as per starting dosage. Normally, 2.5 mg. is enough to add to AD, as for precautional manner. Because, this med. is quite powerful med. designed for schizo. that is pretty serious form of mental illness, as we all know. However, in my knowledge, this med. is a sort 'universal' for depressive episodes, because it has quite 'augumental power' to combat/alleviate all sort of depressive symptoms, such as yours.
Also, Effexor 300 mg. is fairly 'high dosage,' as seeing your pdoc. rxed Zyprexa 5mg.
Probably, ... (this is my guess tho' through experience, ...), you need to get 'slow' on both meds.,... like go back 'original Effexor dosage' combined with 2.5 mg. Zyprexa. However, you still experience annoying 'side-effect' in your description, then you may call to see your pdoc. for another form of med.
