Rubin,
I started taking Zyprexa as an aumentation to my Nortriptyline. I have a history of suicide attempts and was getting suicidal thoughts again pretty strongly. Within a week of starting the Zyprexa the urges had subsided. I would say that it really helped with what I would call Impulesive Thoughts.
Since then I have added Celexa and Naltrexone to the cocktail so I really couldn't tell you which med has been responsible for my extra 35 pounds. I still suffer from anhedonia but it's a lot better place than I was before.
BTW, I currently take 7.5mg of Zyprexa at night and sleep fairly well.
Hope this helps, e-mail me if you have other questions,
Chris
