How does seroquel differ from zyprexa?
Seroquel ( Quetiapine) and Zyprexa (Olanzapine) are both Antipsychotics but Zyprexa is also an antimanic. Zyprexa is indicated for the treatment of bipolar disorder where as Seroquel is not.
Can Lexapro and abilify be taken with zyprexa?
I strongly suggestt hat you do not take Zyprexa. I took it and had HORRIBLE side effects. I am sure it can be different for some but two of my friends were on it and we all experienced severe weight gain (20 lbs in 2 weeks) and extreeme fatigue. I took Lexapro and Zyprexa together along with Colonipin. Not a great mix. Make sure you check with your Dr before taking anything. Medication can be very dangerous if not taken properly
Is zyprexa a benzodiazepine?
NO. Zyprexa (olanzapine) is an atypical antipsychotic primarily used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder (mixed/manic), agitation due to schizophrenia and bipolar, and for bipolar disorder (depressed state). It is occasionally used to treat treatment resistant depression, anxiety, insomnia, and anorexia.
Can zyprexa make you dumber?
Zyprexa (olanzapine) is an antipsychotic medication primarily used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. While it can effectively manage symptoms, some individuals may experience cognitive side effects, such as memory issues or difficulty concentrating. These effects can vary from person to person, and not everyone will experience them. It's essential to discuss any concerns with a healthcare professional who can provide personalized guidance.
Can you mix alcohol and zyprexa?
It is not recommended, because it increases the chance of drowsiness and other side effects. If you have a mood disorder, then the answer is a definite no, because the combination will exacerbate the symptoms of the disorder.
Is Lithium Lamictal Zyprexa a common med combination for bipolar?
Two mood stabilizers and an antipsychotic (used as a minor mood stabilizer) is very common, but the specific ones will vary from patient to patient. The fact that Lamictal is one of the mood stabilizers suggests that the patient has slightly more problem with depressive mood swings than manic mood swings.
What are effective treatments for bipolar disorder?
Effective treatments for Bipolar Disorder include a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy coupled with medication. A psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner are professionals that can prescribe medications to treat Bipolar Disorder. It is important to be followed by one of these professionals. Since every individual is different, it may take time to for your doctor to find the medication combination that works best for you. Medications that have been used to treat Bipolar Disorder include atypical anti-psychotics that have mood stabilizing properties. Medications in this category include: Seroquel Risperdal Zyprexa Symbyax (zyprexa + prozac) Abilify Geodon Anti-convulsant medications in conjunction with an anti-psychotic are also used to treat Bipolar Disorder. Medications in this category include: Lamictal Depakote Tegretol Many individuals who have Bipolar Disorder may also need an anti-depressant at different times in their cycle. (again, every individual is different and every individual who has bipolar disorder is different.) Common Anti-depressants include: SSRI's (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors): Paxil Celexa Zoloft Lexapro * Prozac is often not recommended for individuals with bipolar as it has been known to induce mania. SSNRI's (selective Serotonin Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors): Cymbalta Effexor Serzone Older Drugs Used to Treat Bipolar Disorder include: Lithium - Mood Stabilizer A combination of medications that my clients have been prescribed in the past includes: an anti-psychotic, anti-convulsive, and an antidepressant. For example, Seroquel, Lamictal, and Cymbalta. Finally, If you have a diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder, I can't stress enough the importance of staying on your medication and maintaining regular appointments with your psychiatrist. Bipolar Disorder is a medical condition that is managed with medication. In order to maintain a consistent and stable life you must take your medicine, as prescribed by your psychiatrist, every day.
Can Lexapro and Pristiq be taken together?
Pristiq, which contains desvenlafaxine, is an antidepressant that affects the serotonin levels in the brain. Lexapro, being an SSRI, also affects your serotonin levels.You should consult with a medical professional before you attempt to take these drugs at the same time.
Is there anything similar to abilify?
Yes...Zyprexa (Olanzapine). The bigest problem with it is weight gain. --------------- It depends on what you are taking it for. Abilify is prescribed for schizophrenia, bipolar mania, and recently it has been marketed for depression. From experience I do not think the feeling produced is in any way similar to zyprexa. Abilify is a partial D2 agonist and zyprexa is a potent D2 antagonist. From experience abilify = no appetite and akathisia zyprexa= sedation weight gain I have been told that the new antipsychotic saphris is very similar to abilify. It looks promising but there is a very high rate of extrapyramidal symptoms (about 20%)
