Time s*cks when you're feeling like crud, but hang on. after a few months if weight gain becomes an issue you can taper off and by then the pristiq should be working well and you may no longer need the zyprexa, decreasing your med regime even more.

I appreciate any positive study done on psychiatric medications, but in my experience, zyprexa did nothing good for my brain or it's function. I also obsessed more about negative things in the morning and was far more likely to lay in bed a go back to sleep while on zyprexa. I and everyone else I have ever known that took zyprexa both ate more, gained weight, and found it difficult to lose weight.

Any chance you can find that study and post it here? Here is the study on monkey and brain volume shrinkage..

Also, no one has mentioned the possibility of tardive dyskinesia. And, D2 antagonism is not something that you want to do to your brain unless it is absolutely necessary. Antagonizing this receptor comes with several potential side effects like parkinsonism and the often long term and permanent tardive dyskinesia.
