Hi m4
thanks for the advice :)
I got really scared on the avanza so I've gone back to zyprexa and. Aropax again.
This is really hard to get off zyprexa. I get brain zaps. I'm starting to feel a bit better again though which is really good.
Thanks again

You have been switched from a antipsychotic medication to a tricyclic antidepressant. Yes Avanza should help more than the previous medication for depression and yes you sleep great on it due to its strong H1 receptors antagonist which will cause sedation.

You need to give it time to work and most importantly if it's a recent chance you might be experiencing some withdrawal from the previous med while experience side effects of the newer med (they usually go away after your body/brain is adjusted to the changes). The medication can take up to 4 weeks to work so give it time and if you feel something is wrong report as soon as possible to your doctor.
