> geodon the reason i said less cognitive effects, zyprexa is a strong antipsychosis medication, it's vary good for emergency manic episodes, they gave me zyprexa in the psych unit with ativan and it flatten all my anxiety and confusion mania, but geodon does not cause the sedation zyprexa does, it makes you calmer, zyprexa sometimes makes me want to lay down and take naps during the day
It is both amazing and frustrating to see how differently we can all react to the same drug. I found Zyprexa energizing and pro-social. Unfortunately, the improvement did not last beyond the first week.
Regarding Xanax (alprazolam), you are absolutely right about its usefulness as a clinical tool. Along with its doing a great job of reducing anxiety, it has mild antidepressant properties. It is particularly good for the treatment of panic disorder. Unfortunately, it has more abuse potential than other benzodiazepines. I think this is because it produces a "laid-back" or relaxed feeling. It might also produce a mild mood-brightening effect due to its antidepressant-like properties. Overall, Xanax is an important drug to have in the psychotropic arsenal.
