My personal feelings-not crazy about Zyprexa. I would recommend it's use for a month or two, but beyond that it comes with too much baggage to use long term, unless you absolutely need it.
Neuroleptics scare me. There is some that believe, based on research, that neuroleptics may cause brain shrinkage. I understand that this may be more a result of the disease that the person being treated is suffering from. Then again, there is a study done on monkeys that showed brain shrinkage after neuroleptic exposer, and, I think it was Zyprexa that was used.
If you really need it and don't have other options, definitely take it until you find your way out of the darkness and transition to other meds that help.
