Hi,

I've only ever taken Zyprexa so can't comment on the others but I have to say that 10mg Zyprexa has always been an absolute God Send when my anxiety and suicidal thoughts have been out of control. I mean when I feel I can't even try and pretend to be in control. For instance when I've been at work and can't sit still at my desk because I'm so anxious and when all I can do is just keep walking about and going outside and smoking and then back in and then back out again and the suicidal thoughts are pretty constant.

However, when I take Zyprexa when I'm just depressed without the anxiety (and without antidepressants) it has a really flattening effect which I don't like. I took 10mg of Zyprexa about a week ago (I'm not currently taking anything else) and all it did was send me straight to sleep and then the weekend I tried going out for a quick drink with a friend and I couldn't even be bothered to make conversation. It was a real effort, I was glad to get home. I'm depressed anyway but I sort of felt as though the Zyprexa (although calming) had a negative affect in that instance.

I'm interested to know myself how Zyprexa compares with Abilify.
