taking 3.75 mg zyprexa, 60 mg celexa...
any idea which would be more likely to cause this flat feeling... lack of emotional response.... never really feeling excited ... (when even normal people laugh, smile, show more emotion)

That is definitely the Zyprexa. I know what you mean- I was on it for 8 months and NOTHING would faze me.
I still think it was good for what it did, though.

Zyprexa, thats why I want less and less, wish I could stop taking it with out feeling bad. I longer I've been taking Z the more unemotional I feel. I feel like all my emotions come from logical thoughts I have to force out on comand.

thanks for replying guys
i just lowered my zyprexa dose to 2.5 mg and i feel much more alive.... i hope i can get away with taking such a small dose ! .........
(i'd still like to try abilify though...... the dude i talked to in buffalo actually said abilify isn't as great as they make it out to be... but we'll see)
