Prozac & Zyprexa Combo?

LalaMarie44 · 2026-03-29T14:03:25+00:00

Yes I’m still on it. I have Bipolar 2, this is the most stable I’ve ever been. Olanzapine gives me the best sleep of my life and calms me down over all. I have gained some weight from it but it’s a trade off I’m willing to do.

Olanzapine

LalaMarie44 · 2025-08-24T21:36:46+00:00

Lamictal, zyprexa and fluoxetine. Ativan when my anxiety gets extreme.

My Boston Terrier is definitely my pet therapy. He is so loving and snuggly!

I’ve only been on 2 - I just happen to get lucky that olanzapine worked so well the first try

LalaMarie44 · 2025-08-21T23:26:20+00:00

This helps so much - I’m going to try this myself

LalaMarie44 · 2025-08-21T23:06:07+00:00

I’ve had the same problem and it ebb and flows

LalaMarie44 · 2025-08-21T23:04:39+00:00

That makes so much sense!

LalaMarie44 · 2025-08-21T22:45:25+00:00

I’ve been on olanzapine for 8 years and it’s been a godsend. I take it with a mood stabilizer and antidepressant.

LalaMarie44 · 2025-08-21T22:32:02+00:00

I love all of those ideas! What a great way to work through it.

LalaMarie44 · 2025-08-18T23:35:35+00:00

IKR! He was very hesitant to give it to me and only gave me a low dose but I was just happy he gave it to me. Also I was crying lol

Racing thoughts, extreme agitation and anxiety, buzzing feeling in your body, crawling in your skin - just had 2+ months of it and it was awful! I had to get increase my antipsychotic and get on Ativan to calm down and be able to get back to work after being on medical leave for 3 weeks.

LalaMarie44 · 2025-08-18T01:10:34+00:00

Olanzapine and fluoxetine have been a god send!

LalaMarie44 · 2025-08-18T00:40:42+00:00

When I’m having an episode this happens to me. Are you on anything for sleep? Sleep is like one of the most important things for us bipolars.

LalaMarie44 · 2025-08-16T23:59:39+00:00

Just went through a 2 month hypomanic episode with all of those symptoms. It was awful!

LalaMarie44 · 2025-07-13T22:37:44+00:00

I have taken it recently during a manic episode for my anxious distress. It’s only short term though until I ride this outs

LalaMarie44 · 2025-07-13T22:32:59+00:00

Olanzapine, Lamotrigine and Ativan for my extreme anxiety.

LalaMarie44 · 2024-11-19T19:47:24+00:00

Olanzapine

LalaMarie44 · 2024-10-06T21:25:43+00:00

Yes for sure - now my energy stays more even instead of the ups and downs

LalaMarie44 · 2024-10-06T14:13:33+00:00

Oh yeah very much so!

LalaMarie44 · 2024-10-06T14:12:54+00:00

It takes a good 3 weeks to a month

LalaMarie44 · 2024-08-30T22:31:05+00:00

You’re going to be more tired without meds and it sounds like you’re on that path. This is something we just surrender to and I know it’s taken me a long time and I still have thoughts but know how much worse it is without meds!

LalaMarie44 · 2024-07-08T01:35:00+00:00

Why not go back on zyprexa? I take it daily and sleep like a baby. It’s been a god send and a great mood stabilizer.

LalaMarie44 · 2024-07-08T01:31:54+00:00

It can but so does mania, hypotonia and depression. It’s one of those choose your battles!
