I started gaining a lot of weight on olanzapine so had to quit and switch

Weight gain. It’s just been really rough on my joints. Also taking risperidone without an anti-parkinsonian med makes me really agitated.

25

Weight gain for sure. I gained 100 lbs in a year…

Akithisia is hell, mix it in with sleepiness, you got a hel of a combo.

heart problems, when i was on geodon i felt like i was gonna die because i fainted like 4 times within a few minutes and everytime i tried to stand up i would fall again and my heart was pounding painfully, every day on that med i felt like i was inches away from death, and i was losing my mind at the same time having rage and mood problems and self harming, weight gain on olanzapine was bad (160 pounds), the med im on now is the most tolerable for me but not for everybody

Weight gain, akathisia, low creativity and no orgasmic capacity.

ED and stuff. I guess weight gain is just as bad or worse.

Extrapyramidal effects. (Tongue dyskinesia and eyes distonia). And weight gain.

I had this on Latuda after 18 months. I was pretty upset as that drug worked well for me, but it ended badly.

Olanzapine I put on 35 kilos in two years.

I was also having severe movement problems in my body from Haldol.

Abilify I could not sleep, and I was a bag of nerves.

Not pleasant experiences, but for now Amisulpride is working until I get boobies and high prolactin.

Where? Which part of the body?

Parkinsonism (When I was coming off of Latuda)

Clozapine and cogentin got rid of it.

think it’s the same as you kinda

it was eyes, tongue and seizing to the side with my neck and half my body

2x for a couple of hours

i thought it was something to do with how much my partner loved me
totally psychotic
they were visiting me on home care 10 minute visits a day to make sure i put disolvable olanzapine in my mouth lol

it wasn’t till i stopped being psychotic 6 months later i knew differently
somehow they figured it wasn’t working any more when i finally got admitted

Weight gain and ED. Could have done without either of those.
