> DeniseYes I am in the US. Why would I try Zyprexa? It is an antipsycotic. I have dysthymia, a-tyical depression and anxiety (GAD, PTSD, Panic are the names important the symtems are the same). That drug is meant for schizophrenia and maybe bipolar depression (mine is unipolar). As for waiting around for new drugs, all the new drugs are like celexa, in the same classes (like ssri) that hurt me. There also is no more time left. I can feel myself giving out like I'm going catatonic. Hope is already pretty much gone. In the end love and affection would do more than any drug, but it doesn't exist in my family, and women run away. So far the drug hasn't had any possitive effects, but I have taken it less than a month, so in a few weeks who can say. I'm very depressed, and nothing shakes me out of it for long. I've started to become dizzy and more uncordinated. I don't know if this is because of low blood pressure (I've started eating more salt, and eating more in general), or if this is another side effect I can do nothing about. If it doesn't work maybe I'll try it with lithium or adderal, maybe I'll try the other MAOI (Parnate I think it's called), if I have any effort left maybe I'll even try one more tryciclicate. Then I'm threw with drugs, and possibly everything else. Everyday is so hard to get through, and its been this way too long. Existance hurts.
