Is it dull, zoned out. Or just for some people it makes them back to there old self.

I have been on Zyprexa 10mg before, it took away anxiety i rerember but i was emotionless.

No motivation either....

That's called "blunting" and is an effect of just about all antipsychotics on many people. It also can occur on some TCAs/SSRIs to some varying extent.

Matt lithium as a mood stabalizer I know some real life people that like it and some that don't. It can cause a tremor but also some say calm you down . Love Phillipa
