I have also been taking Zyprexa (in combo with Celexa and Wellbutrin) for "brain fog" associated with atypical depression. For me, the fog involved extreme forgetfulness, leaving the oven on, the door wide open, telling my intern the same thing repeatedly and an intense feeling of being pressured and overwhelmed by tasks.
Zyprexa definitely makes me sleepy - but if I time it carefully so that I have 8 or 9 hours to sleep, it's OK. The first few days I was zonked, but that wore off.
As far as the speed, I started feeling better really quickly - a few days, and by now the fog it totally gone, which is record time for a psych drug.
