I was first started on Effexor for depression with psychotic features ... up to 300mg. Then they added Seroquel but that zombified me.
And then my doctor gave me 5mg of Zyprexa. It was fine for a week, but once it had had time to accumulate in my system all hell broke loose. It apparently lowers the seizure treshold and it gave me petit-mal seizures dozens of times a day ... I had trouble talking and involuntary jerks. It happens to some people.
I guess my advice is make sure you're started on a small dose ... 1.25 or 2.5 and be carefull ... talk to your doc if you experience any wacky side effects. From waht I understand its on the "heavy artillery" side of atypicals. But for some people it can be a life saver.
