What exactly do you feel on zyprexa?

It was like a candy for me for the past 4 years, that i take it… One pdoc told me, that those who are at their worst, dont feel their meds :confused: I guess i went badly chronical too, always in pain…
But what do you feel exactly on zyprexa? Do you feel a calming effect, do you had nausea from it?
Maybe i’ll start to feel something now after 4 years… I was too low before…
I also wonder after how much time it kicks in? In an hour or more?
I wish id feel something on it tbh… Its very strange, that i feel nothing lol…
Is it possible to feel a bit of euphoria on it?

Didn’t really feel much of anything on that drug. I was a zombie.

I didn’t feel any euphoria on it. I felt sleepy, and I craved sugar. I gained 60 lbs. in 120 days on it, but I was very lean when they started me on Zyprexa. Now I weigh over 100 pounds more than I did then. It managed my symptoms, but it was unpleasant to me. I was mildly depressed the whole time.

Hungry basically
But happy

Should i feel a calming of my anxiety? My paranoia and this, torture me physically too, i have all kind of physical symptoms… Do you believe, that it can work after years on it? I find true, that at our worst, we dont feel our aps…
My mother is a bit sick, she says she can die soon… all i did was to hide at my house, i avoid still from anxiety and what it causes to my body…I blame myself from hiding, my mother blames me too… But she sees all badly. Now, she regrets her life, she regrets gaving birth to me cause i am sick, she regrets have married my father etc… Idk if you encounter so much negativity daily… Ok, its not cool to hide, but i cant stand up on my feet from anxiety…

I felt heavily sedated. No euphoria. Causes weight gain. I mostly liked it, for helping me sleep.

It didn’t work for me. I don’t remember exactly, but I had side effects without any benefit. I was on it and a month and I was just as crazy after that month as I was before I started it.

i am on zyprexa 20 years, it helps me sleep mainly

It worked fine with me, though it was very sedating. I didn’t really feel anything on it. I stopped taking it because I gained a lot of weight, and it elevated my blood sugar (diabetes).

I’ve been on zyprexa a long time.

Positives: It takes away psychosis. I have no serious side-effects.

Negatives: I have become drug dependent and can’t sleep without it. Weight gain. Depersonalization and apathy at higher dozes.

I’m doing 5mg now and can’t complain. But when I was on 10mg or more life was hard. Still I tolerated the drug well.
