It is likely that you have more information to work with than the people around you. They might be worried about horror stories regarding side effects or simply the stigma involved in taking a drug with the word "psychotic" in it. It sounds too heavy-duty. Both concerns are understandable. Zyprexa is arguably the drug that has the best combination of antipsychotic and antidepressant properties. Of course, the best drug for any individual is the one that works. If Zyprexa didn't have such strong metabolic side effects, it would probably be used more often.
I have probably already asked this question, but I am curious if you have tried Luvox (fluvoxamine) yet. It has a reputation for being effective in treating psychotic depression.
