I'm very surprised to hear you talk so highly of Zyprexa BB. You do know this and other APs have the potential to shrink brain volume? They did in monkeys.
If it's only been 6 wks hang in there. Maybe you need to raise the dose?
What other antidepressants have you been on?
Sorry if my previous post sounded a bit abrasive. I just get frustrated with the psych industry sometimes. IMO, if you are doing something just out of desperation, it's often the case it might not be the best decision. Try to wait this one out until you have exhausted all options. Antipsychotics are bad news, all of them. These drugs should only be used as a last resort in all cases.
