I disagree with the above actually. I have found Zyprexa to be great. It hasnt made me gain that much weight (i have sugar cravings but can control them). But I dont really have many options left, Ive been on so many drugs. Im on zyprexa for my bipolar though not for anxiety. I still take benzo's for anxiety. But Zyprexa has definatly helped with the depression and anxiety too.
In regard to tardive dyskinesia and akithisia, it should be noted that in rare circumstances the SSRI's can cause these problems too. I for one got terrible akathisia from Zoloft. It was far worse than the akathisia i got from Respridal, Solian and Abilify. Ive also had what appeared to be TD from Solian but once it was stopped I went back to normal thank God.
Anyway i wish you luck, I hope you find the right medication(s).
take care.
