In reply to Can one dose of Zyprexa really help panic attacks?, posted by jms600 on September 28, 2008, at 17:20:33
When I used to take zyprexa, it did work on panic attacks pretty fast. For me it took about an hour and really started to kick in at about 2 hours. I had been on it a long time and so the sedative side effects were gone. Also I had a much higher tolerance of it after so long. So even though it would probably last a long time for most people, it would last maybe 8 hours for me. But yeah, it was powerful against anxiety and panic. If I was ever in a situation where I just knew I needed some fast help, I would always retreat to privacy and sneak down a little extra zyprexa and be so much better it was like night and day.
But I would try xanax, and separately klonopin, first. They are just generally safer and even faster than zyprexa. If you have problems with those, then at least you can say you tried first line meds and then move on to off label meds like zyprexa.
