In reply to Zyprexa - Reluctant to Take, posted by jerseygal1 on June 27, 2011, at 9:36:23
I guess I started a good debate on this topic. I would prefer not to take zyprexa but, at this point, I just want something to work already. I've been struggling since May of last year after prozac pooped out on me after 11 good years. Since then, I've tried to augment prozac with abilify, seroquel and wellbutrin (not at same time, of course) which didn't work. Then, I tried lexapro with remeron and that didn't work. Now I'm on pristiq (six weeks) with remeron which hasn't worked yet. At my last visit, my pdoc wasn't very optimistic about pristiq working if it hasn't worked yet. But as many of you say, pristiq can take a while to kick in. My pdoc was ready to change my med yet again, to possibly anafranil, but I asked if we could try to augment pristiq with something first. That's when zyprexa came into the picture. So I guess it really wouldn't do much harm to try it cause if nothing changes in the next 2-3 weeks, I'll probably be facing a med change anyway. Thanks everyone for your input.
