Anyone know anything about Zyprexa?

I am so confused. I went to a new PCP today and he sent me home with zyprexa instead of the usual Zoloft I've been taking for about 6 months. I assumed he gave it to me for depression...I'm going back in three weeks to discuss it with him. Then I came home, got on the internet and found out Zyprexa is an "anti-psychotic" used to treat schizoprenia and bi-polar disorder! Now I'm freaking out because this was NEVER discussed and I have never been diagnosed with either of these. Only mild depression. He did ask me if I have any obsessive thoughts and I said yes, with food. I over-eat and think about food ALL THE TIME. Did he send me home with the wrong samples or does this drug also treat mild depression?
