> when you take zyprexa for the first time....like I commited myself one time in 2009 and they gave me directly 20mg because I was withdrawing from my xanax dose and omgod it like knocked me out, all my thinking changed and slowed down alot, less worried about things...like its calming vary much....its actually called a thienobenzodiazepine nueroleptic...it actaully does effect the benzodiapine receptor but vary vary weak effects. Here's some evidence:

Its not flattering.....but its vary good for a PRN needed use for rapid thoughts at night. there's a medication called symbax that's mixed with prozac....i stopped it and just got the 60mg prozac and 20mg zyprexa cocktail...it does work...its just when you on zyrexa you don't get excited, its sedating. but thats only in my case...

Zyprexa was awesome even tho I wasn't psychotic. It was only sedated at night. BUT I gained 85 lbs on it. Am going off for that reason. I couln'nt fight off the sugar cravings.
