I haven't tried Zyprexa, but Celexa works ok for me. Not great results, but depression/anxiety is less. Effexor works well for many people, I have also heard about Gabatril (sp.). I know it can be extremely frustrating switching or trying different meds. I try to allow 2 or 3 months for full effect to kick in. Good luck!
