These meds act so differently from one person to the next.
For me, I felt clear benefits from 2.5mg zyprexa within 24 hours of adding it to my ongoing 10mg prozac at the time (5 years ago). The combo wasn't a complete cure, but it did keep me free of any depression or anxiety for 5 straight years.
I still take zyprexa, though only 1.25 to 2.50 a day. I find it both soothing and mildly stimulating at the same time, beginning about 2 hours after dosing and lasting about 6 hours. The sedation that most people comment on wore off a long time ago. It is the only medication I still take. Trying more natural things.
The only other AP I've tried is seroquel. It makes me feel depressed the day after I take it. Strong sedation and dry mouth for me.
