What is difference between Seroquel and Zyprexa?

Posted by UgottaHaveHOPE on May 3, 2006, at 16:42:37

Are they both basically the same drug? What are the differences? Which is better for anxiety? I take Seroquel and it makes me feel drugged up and tired out, which is fine with me. What about Zyprexa? Which one causes you to gain more weight?

about 60 pounds.. (nm)

i gained no weight on seroquel and 50lbs on zyprexa. i felt more cognitive blunting on seroquel.
seroquel put me right to sleep (like within 1/2 hour...fantastic) zyprexa did at first (month) then wore off, it made me more able to sleep though if i'd take it about 3-4 hours before i'd go to bed.

zyprexa also helped with my ocd and other 'wierd thought stuff', seroquel kinda did in that on it i couldn't think. but really didn't help with that.
