> I'm just curious, what do you take zyprexa for? When I took zyprexa I felt incredibly strage. But I also felt very relaxed for the first time. Do you guys feel more normal on AP's? I just get a wierd feeling on all of them. The only thing that seems to make me feel more normal is antidepressants and maybe mood stabilzers

Is there anything lacking in the way you feel right now?

I suffer from bipolar disorder - chronic depressive subtype. For me, Risperdal, Zyprexa, Geodon, and Abilify produce a smoothing out of mood. Zyprexa in particular cleared up my thinking and brought me out of a severe suicidal depression several times. However, I still remained profoundly depressed. Abilify seems to increase motivation and energy for me. When added to the other drugs I am taking, it is critical to produce the improvement that I am enjoying today.

Interestingly, Seroquel produced an agitated dysphoria for me. As disgusting as this drug made me feel, I still recognize the effectiveness it has when used by others.

If you experience recurrent depressions, it might be time to think about taking antidepressants indefinitely. That you are still responsive to antidepressants is a blessing. You might want to take advantage of it.
