I don’t experience bad side effects on Zyprexa. It seems to affect me differently than it does most people Instead of making me tired, it gives me insomnia, so I have to take it in the morning. Instead of stimulating appetite, it suppresses it, so I have been able to stick to my weight loss calorie range, and I’ve lost 16 pounds since mid-April.
Don’t write off a med just because you’re scared of the side effects. Wait and see what your personal experience is. The worst that happens is that the new med doesn’t work for you either, but you never know until you give it a try.
Zyprexa has changed my life. I was scared of weight gain and was hesitant to go on it, but it’s totally turned my life around. Can’t hurt to try it before Clozapine!
