it does sound like TCA's might be best for you.
however, like you zyprexa has always been my wonder drug but for various reasons i don't like to stay on it.
I also (similar to you) had a Terrible reaction to Effexor but since my options were very limited i decided to give pristiq a try. it took forever to kick in, but it finally did and it worked beautifully. i think it honestly took 8-10 weeks to get to a normal level.
the first week i felt Great, then went down for a while, then slowly got better and better.it might be an option for you.
best wishes.
and hang in there with the zyprexa for now. i truly know how frustrating it can be, but zyprexa always puts his foot inbetween me and death on i can't remember how many times.
so just hold on.
hold on to hope, to us, to knowing...KNOWING you WILL find another med that will work for you.b2c.
