Sorry to hear you're still feeling rough AMD, I doubt it's the Zyprexa unless you had an allergic reaction of some kind but I doubt that also.
You are on the smallest dose (2.5mg) and it can take a few days for the full effects to work. I was taking 5mg a day for a few weeks and it made me feel absolutely drained and depressed, all I could do was lie around all day, actually it's worth noting I was coming off Zispin 30mg(remeron in the U.S.) cold turkey so that played a big part in it. Zyprexa is a horrible drug in my opinion but it may help you.
Talk to your doctor, it could be the Celexa or you might need to keep taking Zyprexa. I would ask him/her for some Diazepam or some other benzo to get you through this hard time.
