In reply to Re: Seroquel, Zyprexa, Effexor XR, which one?, posted by Angel Girl on May 11, 2003, at 22:28:24
> Thanks for your replies. My dr first prescribed Zyprexa when I was very anxious due to some stresses in my life that I was not handling very well a few weeks ago. I was also and still am dealing with insomnia.
Now, WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD A PDOC GIVE YOU ZYPREXA INSTEAD OF A BENZO?????
> When I went back to the dr and confronted him on his choice of med, in hindsight he was glad I never filled it
Gee, thanks doc! Your instincts are better than his years of training and experience!
> I'm wondering if it would be better for me to go back on the Effexor XR for the depression since that worked for me before???That sounds like a good idea. If you are having trouble with anxiety, I would ask for a benzo--klonopin or xanax. Much less risky and way fewer side effects than anti-psychotics. Also, I would get a new doc.
