My 22 yo daughter is restarting Zyprexa after trying Abilify. The Zyprexa works for her psychosis but the side effects are rough - severe weight gain, higher cholesterol, worry about diabetes, etc....
Our worry is that the Zyprexa may not work after trying the Abilify. I know some anti-depressants don't work as well after being off for a while.
What about Zyprexa???? She re-started almost a week ago and seems to be doing a little better but is very up and down.
DX Schizoaffective. Other meds - Depakote, Lamictal, Lexapro, Synthroid and Xanax as needed.
