This medication made me gain 20+ lbs. in only 2 1/2 months I had to stop it.

i went from 190 to 350 in 19 months and to top it off i was mis diagnosed... klonopin works good enough .. then theinobenzodiazapam aka zyprexa

Tendancy to gain weight. Hair is falling out. Does Zyprexa hurt you ability to use some vitamin that keeps you from getting bald?

I feel at ease most of the time and have no problem sleeping at night'

The drug worked almost immediately to help with mixed symptoms. Long term the weight gain is a problem.

Never felt any beneficial effect. I gained quite a bit of weight and my triglycerides went through the roof. I was borderline diabetic at that point. Don't take this medication.

This medication made me feel and act like a zomby. It morked for me because I didn't have the energy to act out or even feel outraged!

Prescribed in combination with Depakote and Zyprexa after one visit to the doctor. The combination made me feel heinous: worthless, emotionless, apathetic. Although, Zyprexa itself was given to me to aid sleep... which it did... a little too well. I would caution to try diet and exercise first! I don't take any medication now, and I stopped myself. Training and nutrition has taken care of the problems.

The Zyprexa changed my metabolism and I gained over 100 pounds. It gave me high blood pressure and cholesterol. This is a dangerous, addictive medication that should not be on the market. The benefits do not outweigh the risks.

I took this drug for four years. Although it lessen the anxiety and panic attacks, the side-effects became intolerable. I slept sometimes as much as 14 hours a day at times and my appetite became something out of control. I was eating like a starving dog and I gained 75 pounds in less than a year, my blood pressure went up, and I was retaining water which caused me to have a bloated and shiny-skinned appearance. I have a photo from back then and I looked very un-well. But I kept on it because my doctor said there was nothing in that class of drugs which I hadn't been already on and had experienced unacceptable side-effects. Si I took it. Then late last year the panic attacks and all of the rest of the nightmare came crashing on top of me. I felt psychotic and terrified of what I might do to myself. I had to make an emergency appointment with my doctor and I was in hospital within the hour. I was weaned off the zyprexa and in hospital for nearly a month. I am finally beginning to lose the excess weight. I am on enirely different medication. Every medication is not the same for everyone, I know, but I don't recommend zyprexa.Read More Read Less
