Zyprexa and coffee

Posted by Zyprexa on September 15, 2015, at 4:49:11

I've noticed if I take zyprexa and then in a couple hours drink a strong cup of coffee, I fall asleep on the couch. I think it was SLS who said that caffine raises blood levels of zyprexa. Now I belive it. I get so tired I can't help it. And after only 7 mg of z.

Hi, Zyprexa.

Although it is true that caffeine raises blood levels of Zyprexa, it wasn't me who said that. Someone smarter than me must have.

:-)

I read that both drugs compete for liver enzymes - particularly CYP1A2. By the way, smoking can lower Zyprexa levels.
