zyprexa for ptsd dp/dr

Posted by borderliner21 on February 5, 2002, at 15:48:18

Does zyprexa help in treating ptsd and depersonalization symptoms? I can't take ssri's because they make me feel high and crazy. Zyperxa seems to be kicking in, although I'm on the lowest dose(2.5mg)

Zyprexa might be effective in PTSD because it has some of the antagonist action of nefazodone at the 5HT-2A receptors: (http://www.vh.org/Providers/Conferences/CPS/04.html#OLANZAPINE) and nefazodone has been proven to be effective in PTSD: Journal of CLinical Psychopharmacology April 2000 "Nefazodone Treatment for Chronic Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: An Open Trial."
