In reply to Zyprexa? for depression?, posted by Lynne on March 18, 2000, at 15:50:02
> I have tried many AD's and did not have good luck with any of them. My PDoc suggested low dose Zyprexa, has anyone else used this? I have anxiety and social phobia, and depression. Does it cause short term memory loss?

When antidepressants haven't worked, either Zyprexa and/or a psychostimulant may target the chemistry that the antidepressants missed. Zyprexa does indeed work in depression. In the mood stabilizer category Lamictal might be considered.I like Zyprexa. It's good for sleep without daytime sedation. Doesn't seem to have any short term memory loss...I think...I'm not sure...I forgot. :) Just kidding. Corny jokes aside, its primary side effect is weight gain. It gives me the munchies. JohnL
