Symbyax?

I was just formally diagnosed this afternoon by my primary care doctor. He gave me samples of Symbyax (Olanzapine and Fluoxetine) for now, and I get a prescription in three weeks, if I feel I'm improving. Does anyone know anything about this drug? I looked up the side effects, and they sound a little uncomfortable; but they always are. I was just wondering, if anyone has ever taken this, does it cause trouble with driving? Sexual side effects? Anything you have to offer is wonderful at this point.

Thanks!

Hey Lauren,

I'm sorry, this is probably the ONLY anti depressant I haven't taken. I was prescribed recently the very new Cymbalta and have done pretty well on it too. Have you tried posting on the Anti Depressant Medications board? They may know something about it over there.

Hugs,
