User Comments about Zyprexa
08 Oct 2014 Since I've been on zyprexa I ruptured a tendon jumping 1 foot down and landing on two feet. I used to do this kind of thing before being on zyprexa and was fine. Also felt depressed on this drug and less able to cope with stress. After stopping taking it still feel some bad effects.

16 Feb 2011 Great drug, made me feel great but I refuse to use it because how much weight gain it caused, immediate and noticiable.

25 Oct 2010 This drug has unappealing side effects, but for those, who like me, who have gone off of it, tried another antipsychotic, only to go back to Zyprexa again, it is a true life saver. Not a perfect drug, but at least I can act normally around people, and most importantly, feel relaxed and at peace in my mind.

02 Aug 2009 80 pound weight gain, developed type 2 diabetes in early 2000's and have it permanently. no one paid attemtion to my weight gain or blood sugar increase as i was taking this. the main individual giving this to me even acknowledged to me at the time that he knew it caused weight gain amd a bad craving for sweets but still prescribed it anyway until it was too late on the diabetes. i've since lost all of the 80 pounds i gained while Using Zyprexa, it tool me some time to do it.
