I was treatment-resistant and even Clozapine did not help - I was depressed on a tiny dose of 25 mg (people usually take upwards of 300 mg) and even when Wellbutrin was added.
But I do extremely well on Zyprexa, mood- and sleep-wise. On Zyprexa I am highly functional, my mind is clear and effective, and I do not have neurological side effects. But weight gain is bad.
I started on Zydis and take only 5 mg at night. I also take 1500 mg of Gabapentin to which I do not have side effects.
I am still gaining weight.
Is it true that Zydis is better?
