Q: Quick Question For You All...

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!

Zyprexa is a new highly and expensively promoted antipsychotic, claimed to cure almost everything
i have severe doubts about it, many paychs wont use any antibiotics for anxiety
clonazepam only as needed, with a few tablets carried with you when out would be better, imo
also learn new ways of coping with stress and anxiety and relaxation
i would be woerried i9f doc wants you to quit the old med cold turkey, especially if on it a long time and at a high dose, its a valium type med
