Hi Lawrence,

How much Zyprexa are you taking? The dose may be too high for you. Then again, when I tried Zyprexa I felt somewhat mentally dulled (as I did with lithium), but that mostly went away after a week.

Zyprexa just may not be the drug for you. You can always try another antipsychotic like Risperdal or Geodon -- they won't necessarily have the same effect. Just remember you have to give meds time to work, and the side effects you get at first may not be lasting.

I wish you luck,
anita


> I gave Zyprexa a try as an augmenter. Also to stop my ruminating thoughts. After seeing how it has helped my Mom I really had high hopes. I really am hesitant to say this for fear that it may upset someone. The only word that comes close to the way I felt is, lobotomized. Lithium and Verapamil made me feel the same way. Anyone else experience this feeling or am I so far gone that nothing will help me? By the way, My Mother seems better than I have ever seen her in my life, since she has been on Zyprexa, Respiridal and Effexor combo.
