Started on Olanzapine (Zyprexa) & Cymbalta (Citalopram) 2day

Postby SBAllen » Sat Dec 03, 2011 9:32 pm

Today I begin a journey!
I have had Depression the majority of my life that I can remember.
I have never, ever been treated for "D" up to this point.
Although I had a major attack and it ruined a portion of my life (about 4 years)

As for the rest of me, I am unsure if I have BPD or Schizophrenia.

The Citalopram, 20mg, that is meant to treat Depression (trade name: Cymbalta)
And the Olanzapine, 15mg, that is meant to treat the psychotic disorder (trade name: Zyprexa).

I never keep a journal but might for this, so I can record the effects it has on me.

Already within 30 minutes of taking first dose of Cymbalta (mornings) today, I felt sleepy and laid down for about an hour of sleep.

Since I was already taking the Zyprexa before, just 10mg, it really had no effect on me before bedtime.

note: if anyone wants to ask me questions about either drug, I will receive/reply to your private msg.
