Re: Zyprexa and Slurring

How long did you have the slurred speach before giving up on Zyprexa? I recently switched from Zyprexa to Geodon and had the same initial problem with Geodon (never had it with Zy). I went to work one day after being on Geodon for about 3 days and one of my co-workers took me aside and asked if I was hungover or drinking because my speech was so slurry. That only lasted a couple of days and I was back to normal.

When I first started taking Zy I did get the sedation but found that to go away after a couple of weeks. If you feel that the Zy is helping you then you may want to fight out a couple of weeks of side effects to see if they don't subside. My own experience is that most will subside in a 2-3 week time period and if you can get through that it sounds like you are hopeful that the Zy will help you.

Good Luck,
Chris
