In reply to Zyprexa - lower dosage, posted by RSIRL on January 25, 2006, at 17:54:20
Your cognitive impairment might be the effexor...when I was taking it I found the higher the dose of effexor (I went up to 150mg) the less I could think straight...making mistakes, forgetting words etc....this never went away until I stopped the effexor

> My pdoc has put me on 20 mg of Zyprexa and 150 mg of Effexor. The combination seems to be working for me except that I have gained alot of weight and am very tired. I work full time so I decided to lower my dosage of Zyprexa to 15 mg to hopefully aleviate some of the tiredness. I do seem to be less tired and more energetic but I am also noticing that I may not be thinking as clearly and am making more little mistakes. Does anyone have experience like this and if so, will my mind start thinking clearer after I have been on the lower dosage for awhile? I have only been taking 15 for about a week.
