Just started Zyprexa 10 mgs. at bedtime a few days ago..i also take Prozac and remeron, anyway i feel energized. Could this be the Zyprexa working synergistically w/the other meds, or is Zyprexa just energizing on it's own?

Very few people would describe a 10mg dose of Zyprexa as energizing. It may be that as you suggest, it is acting synergistically with other meds (most likely Prozac). It could also be that you're basking in the newly found relief of being able to go about your life more freely without the millstone of anxiety round your neck.

Prozac was too energizing for me gave me panic attacks . Glad the zyprexa is working so well for you. Love Phillipa

rarely, antipsychotics can induce agitation/mania. More likely, its the prozac+zyprexa combo (kind of like Symbyax); I imagine that it could provide a lift+relieve anxiety, and as long as you don't get EPS or akathisia, that could be energizing.

I find zyprexa energizing in a different way. You feel more rested, so you have more energy. Yes and the anxiety relife helps a lot too.
