This is so true...without the weight gain I'd probably want it even if I didn't "need" it. Sometimes if I'm really spazzing out I prefer it over benzos. It just chills me right out.

No didn't even know there was one. Does it eliminate the hunger/weight gain? Is there a 5mg injection?

I want one !!!

I have to say I think Zyprexa does rob me of some energy...

> and i don't know if i have told you about that i'm for real "allergic" to them cause i get Oculogyric crisis from everyone, including weak ones like promethazine..

What is Oculogyric crisis?

Are you kidding? Your not hijacking anything youre the only one responding lol. Besides Zyprexa is an interesting topic for me.


>
> Maybe i should try a very low dose zyprexa to sleep, like 5mg and no more?

Do you have bad insomnia? If so, it works great for that, at least for me. It wouldn't be worth the weight gain for me though. If that's not an issue for you and it doesn't cause too much next day fatigue, I'd go for it. A pdoc may disagree.

> Klonopin 2mg takes away that side effect so maybe i will ask my pdoc about it, i don't know...

Which side effect does klonopin take away for you? I take .5mg klon 3xday.

I suffer from depression and social anxiety. Honestly I think a lot of my social anxiety comes from Zyprexa weight gain and fear that my depression is obvious.. I know... go on a diet. If you've been on Zyprexa you probably know that doesn't work :(

Effects from Nardil ...when I got to 60mg (1st time) I really felt a reduction in my depression. I loved waking up in the morning early. I crave it now even though it does less for depression than before and little overall for anxiety. I have some cognitive difficulties.

Ugh!!! Its better than I'm making it sound!

I'd love to hear more about your experience with and knowledge of Zyprexa. Any ideas as to how to keep it but eliminate the weight gain?

if I wasn't clear about Nardil effects etc. feel free to ask. As I said my brain isn't 100%.
