Thanks @GrayBear!
I found a rehab in my city which has opened a new psych ward. So I’m going there for 1-2 months while I do the switch.

Excellent @Mars! I’m excited but scared at the same time. Good to hear all your stories. A friend of mine has just been put on Zyprexa. I’m wondering if I should tell her to try swap in the early days.
Nice thing about my switch is that I can stop Trulicity and all those meds I’m on to manage my insulin

Good luck!

I used to be on Geodon but it didn’t help me. I know it has helped lots of people though.

Also, on Geodon I couldn’t sleep and felt wired all the time. But I haven’t heard of that many people having that experience on it

I’m now on Zyprexa. I just switched from the regular tablet you swallow whole to the orally disintegrating tablet and have noticed a decrease in my appetite since switching.

Anyway, I hope it helps you :slight_smile:

Thanks @LilyoftheValley, appreciate hearing your experience on both!

I am concerned about the sleep part and feeling wired…

At the moment my appetite is suppressed on Zyprexa but I just can’t lose anymore weight

Thanks @lekkerhondje!

I’ve actually decided not to do the switch. I’m stable on my current meds and I don’t want rebound psychosis from swapping meds.
