My pdoc prescribed Zyprexa with Zoloft to ease my depression. He axed the Invega and replaced it with Zyprexa and axed the St. John's Wort and replaced it with Zoloft. I feel better already taken a zyprexa today. I don't know if that's normal. I don't feel all the way better of course, but it's taken the edge off a little bit. I feel tired though. I'm supposed to take it at night, but I'm not doing anything today so I took it a few hours ago and my head feels funny but my depression seems a little better. He said if the Zoloft doesn't work, we will switch to Symbyax. I have a feeling Zoloft will work though. I was prescribed it for OCD with depression when I was 8, and took it up until I had a manic episode at 17. It worked. I got through my first 3 years of high school no problem. I feel like this is a step in the right direction, and my pdoc is rated the best psychiatrist in Milwaukee so I trust him. He said the Zyprexa will start working the first week and I will have to wait a few weeks for the Zoloft. I finally have some hope this depression will go away. I didn't feel depressed last night or this morning but I was with friends so that's probably why. Well hopefully this works. Wish me the best of luck!

Glad to hear you're feeling good about the med changes. Best of luck and hope all goes well for you!

I've been on both of those. They work well. Zyprexa will make you sleepy at first. After a while that will even out.
