> > Hallo all, I am currently taking Olanzapine 5mg (Zyprexa) for anxiety as a component of depression and following a bout of Major Depression. I am not Bipolar, just plain old Unipolar but with pretty bad anxiety/panic. I am also on 150mg of Venlafaxine for the depression with partial success.

I have never tried Quetiapine or Risperidone or Ziprasidone or Aripiprazole and am interested in knowing something of the differences between their side effect profiles.

My brother said Seroquel was the only thing that ever worked on his anxiety, but made him sleep 12 hours a day and have a ravenous appetite.
Maybe I should try it?
First I'm going to see how the clomipramine + perphenazine combination works I suppose. My doctor the possibility of TD is decreased if I'm taking the clomipramine.
