Have you read anything about taking zyprexa with some kind of histamine blocker like pepcid or zantac, I read taking this when starting zyprexa can help the weight gain. In many internet searches I ready zyprexa has some kind of H1 histamine response (which is more like a benedryl or zyrtec) but H2 histamine is more like a pepcid or zantac or tagament. But I think Geodon (no weight gain) has some sort of h2 response, which might explain weight gain , but Geodon and "sudden death" makes me very nervous. I know histamine levels can contribute to aggressive behavior. But I wonder how safe pepcid with zyprexa might be.
Sorry I have just read too much stuff on the net to know what is good and what isnt!
I was taking the 10 mg zyprexa and 3-100 mg wellbutrins for a while at the end of school. They are best spaced out through the day, not at once. Don't start at the high dose, move up gradualy several days. It takes getting used to, the first week is worse, it gets easyer and much better in a month or two. You probably won't pass out, I though I would but it goes away, just stand slow at the beginning.
