Well not exactly prescibed a zyprexa for that, more for a mood stablizer.

I still can get wierd thoughts, sometimes it INCREASES dissocation, i dont have problems with that much anymore, that ended around January 2005. But still rigght now, i feel a drift...

its hard to explain.

Can this happen?

I think that zyprexa and certainly make you think a little differently for a while.

I did well when I was taking 2.5 zyprexa at night, and 10 prozac in morning.

I think it is a good combination, but that it might take a little tweeking to find a good dose/timing etc.

I used to get quite strong dissociative effects from risperdal never experienced it with other AP's - I think the dose was to high or it just wasnt a drug for me, they are all different to some degree. I still get weird thoughts and experiences despite being on AP's but now they are more of an annoyance rather than distressing that is how I measure the worth of an AP. Often it takes some time to get used to the effects of an AP and whilst that is happening you feel more anxious or out of it because your aware of the drug working, I generally reckon its worth sticking with it to see if it you get used to it and then feel a positive effect.
