Zyprexa

Posted by owensmar on August 23, 2004, at 21:02:00

I'm new to this board so please excuse me if I've put this query in the wrong place.

Can anyone tell me what Zyprexa is supposed to do for me? (I'm unipolar, on Effexor, low dosage because of intolerance of side effects and even worse side effects from SSRIs).

My doctor has prescribed 2.5 mg at bedtime (to help with anxiety, she says but she says it should help with my depression as well).

I have terrible lethargy and anhedonia even with the Effexor. She seems to think Zyprexa will help with this. Some posts I've read say Zyprexa made them tired. Is this a stab in the dark?

I'm also a recovering bulimic and scared about what I"ve read here about Zyprexa making you so hungry.

Finally, how long does it take for the Zyprexa to kick in? My dosage is 2.5 mg.

Thanks anyone who can help.

Marsha
