Well I may be foraying back into the waters of Zyprexa, I'm not sure. All I remember is that at 5mg, I needed no benzodiazepines, my depression was greatly lifted, and my primary difficulty was also addressed dramatically.
Unfortunately you're right, it has lipid problems; I currently take Seroquel which has some of its share and I would have to pare my diet even further.
My main problem though is that Zyprexa caused more pseudoparkinsonism than Seroquel. If the Valium I take now is covering the pseudoparkinsonism in Seroquel, it might do the Zyprexa. Otherwise I guess I'll try to stick it out with a lower dose of Seroquel.
