In reply to ZYPREXA OR AMISULPIRIDE? to johnl,andrew or anyon, posted by rogdog on November 14, 2000, at 11:51:17
Rogdog,
I am a big fan of Zyprexa. When I first started it I had very strong ruminating thoughts of death and suicide. They had become obsessive even though I was taking Klonopin and Paxil at the time. Within days of adding Z I could feel a big difference in the way my mind was working.
Since then I have shifted my AD's to Wellbutrin and Nortriptyline. I still have some anhedonia but I am doing much better than I was two years ago. The one constant has been Zyprexa. On a couple of occasions I tried to phase it out but felt the differnce within a week.
When Zeldox finally comes out in the US I may try that but I have been satisfied with the way the Zyprexa has treated me. I started at 2.5 mg but ended up at 7.5 mg/day. It may be sedating at first but I found that the sedation went away after a couple of weeks.
Good Luck with whatever you try.
Chris
> I am just received a starter pack of zyprexa after a total let don with a trial of seroquel.. andrew, I read a previous post about your experience with zyprexa(i think it was you, or mabey it was John?)i cant remember. anyways, i was going to order some amisulpiride but my doctor wanted me to give zyprexa a "shot", I always here that it is augmented with something else, have you or anyone else out there had success with an antipsychotic alone? thanks for the input, rog
