Quick Question For You All.... Posted: 07-04-05 16:14pm
Hi everyone.
I just have a quick question, hoping
someone knows the answer! I've been on
clonazepam for quite some time, and my new
docotr switched me to zyprexa. I've tried
to research it online, but keep getting
conflicting information. Does anyone know
if zyprexa is related to clonozepam, if
it's a benzodiazepam, or if it should give
me the same effects as clono?
Thanks, any info would be appreciated!

Im sorry I dont know the answer but I was
on zyprexa for over one year and found
that I could not function normally at
all.I was always tired and sleepy and I
lost all of my creativity.I am a piercer
and I found that my hands were much too
unsteady to do that, I could not drive or
do any art I always was feeling nervous I
was on 20mg I hated them and often
wondered what was worse being on them or
having severe mania.I was always begging
my doctor to take me off them he could not
they had to be cut back in mgs slowly
until they were out of my system.I hope
they work well for you I am sure they with
certain people I also hope they dont
affect your every day life like they did
to me.

Hi,
i've been on both and they are different
meds. Clonazepam or klonopin is an
anti-anxiety or benzodiazepine. Zyprexa
is an anti-psychotic. I don't know quite
what your doctor is thinking...
Take care,
jane.

Thats right and they work like an
anti-epileptic.They are the only
medications that control my bipolar and I
guess it is the same for others also.Also
epilem is one I have been on.
