Have you taken appetite suppressants?
I’m on Olánzapine (
Zyprexa
) for about 1.5 months and it dramatically increased my appetite and caused a significant weight gain. Have you tried taking any appetite suppressants and if so what has been the result? I’ve heard they can cause memory loss. Have you experienced that?

Will never come off my meds again!
I have had eating disorders and the weight gain disturbed me so bad I stopped the
Zyprexa
. I didn't think it was really working. Well, I now have a great psychiatrist and back on my meds and am feeling great and a stable mood.

Olanzapine/Zyprexa Insomnia
Anyone have insomnia after reducing or quitting Olanzapine/
Zyprexa
? I can't sleep. If I want to sleep I need Zopiclone or Lorazepam, nothing else works. I've tried all the sleep hygiene CBT stuff, doesn't work at all. I've had this problem for over a year.

Any suggestions regarding weight gain from meds?
I started
zyprexa
less than 2 weeks ago. It's causing insatiable hunger and weight gain. I have a history of eating disorders and cannot handle this weight gain. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you.

Those that have taken Olanzapine/ Zyprexa - would be thankful for your advice
I am currently on 5mg of Olanzapine and would like to reduce to 2.5mg. If you have ever reduced, how did you do it? Did you go straight from 5mg to 2.5mg and did you have any withdrawals? Thanks so much

Those that have taken Olanzapine/ Zyprexa- would love to hear from you
Hi everyone, I am currently on 5mg of Olanzapine (
Zyprexa
) and I would like to start tapering off this medication soon. I will of course ask my doctor about the best way to taper but I would appreciate it if you could tell me how you came off it. Did you divide the pills into quarters?

Why are benzos so vilified and how do I bring this up with a new doctor without sounding like a drug seeker?
Benzo withdrawal feels like a mosquito bite compared to the physical pain and feeling of impending death that comes from seroquel or
Zyprexa
withdrawal, yet we don't hear any hysteria even close to the degree that benzos generate.

Any meds that have helped pure-obsessional OCD?
I've been on all (and high-dose) SSRIs except Luvox over the past 25 years and tried augmenting meds (Abilify, memantine, Risperdal, Lamictal, Geodon,
Zyprexa
). I also have tried Clomipramine, ketamine and, deep transcranial magnetic stimulation.

Weird Feeling
I am currently taking
zyprexa
, lithium, lamictol, and Zoloft. I have been feeling this weird, horrible feeling that I can’t really explain all throughout the day. This feeling makes me feel trapped and miserable. Can anyone relate ?

Feeling awful stopped Zyprexa cold turkey 10 days ago
I was put on 1.25 mg
Zyprexa
for insomnia 4 1/2 months ago. While it helped with sleep, I started to feel depressed and not myself. So I stopped taking the 1.25 10 days ago. I can’t sleep more than 1-3 hrs a night, awful night sweats, panic attacks and anxiety, suicidal thoughts.

Zyprexa Come off for Seniors
Hi Everyone, I wonder if anyone has any opinions on
Zyprexa
(Olanzapine) use to treat seniors with anxiety. My mom, currently at 83, had some anxiety issues flared up in 2016. After a few rounds different kinds of SSRIs with no good results, Dr. put her on
Zyprexa
5mg in mid 2018.

Need advice on medication treatment
Initially I was on
zyprexa
to treat the psychosis which worked great. I slowly became depressed and had bouts of insomnia so I was placed on Zoloft, lamictal and would take
zyprexa
occasionally to sleep.

Feels like a crap
In there they have prescribed me
Zyprexa
(olanzepine). Since the treatment, nothing feels the same. I'm almost 24/7 tired, my muscles hearths, i hear a strange noise in my head like from a bad junky radio. Since back in then just nothing is the same. Most of the time i feel depressed and weak.

I am not ok
I called my doctor asking if I can go back to 20 mg
Zyprexa
if that might help? Waiting on his call. I cant get out I can’t drive I feel like I’m barely functioning. This is brining back memories of the past troubles, I seemed always troubled. Now here I am. I’m not well. I reach out. I try.
