| 5 | anxity ocd and minor bp | very good drug worth the weight gain for the good results | F | 27 | 30 days 10 1X day | 10/12/2021 | 1 | OCD thoughts | Worst drug ever! Withdrawl symptoms are still with me after only talking this for 2 weeks. It's been 4 weeks since I stopped. Medicine made me feel like a zombie. I had really bad dissociation from the med. I had extreme anxiety getting off of it..like bugs crawling on me, I can no longer nap with my kids during the day cause I am too wired and I have insomnia at night. I sleep for 4 hours and wake up every hour after that with my heart racing from anxiety. Don't not take it unless its your last option!! Withdrawl is bad! Do your research...worse than heroin they say!! | F | 36 | 2 weeks | 1/16/2013 | 4 | OCD/Anxiety | Somnolence, apathy a little bit, increased hunger, helped me sleep tho which is nice, gaining weight though | It's a pretty decent drug really. The worst thing is the weight gain... | M | 27 | 3 months 5mg 1X day | 9/1/2010 | 5 | anxiety, depression, OCD, GAD. | a bit drowsiness. | to be an antipsychotic, Zyprexa at low dose has true strong antidepressant and anxiolitic properties. i tried it many years ago, but alone. it did not work well. now, at 2.5 mg with Remeron, it has woke up my emotional feelings and i feel great, really great. it destroyes my irrational fears due to anxiety dsorders. try to stay to max 5.0 mg to have max benefits. | M | 24 | 7 days 2.5 mg 1X day | 6/13/2010 | 1 | ocd and depression | Severe weight gain (50 lbs) in 2 months. Eyes dazed and confused, unable to look people directly in the eye. Changed the shape of my body, changed my face (random deposits of fat, asymmetrical). People didn't recognize me. Plastic face, no reaction, delayed response to comments. Zombie eyes. | The doctor misdiagnosed OCD and depression for bipolar. Forced to take 40mg a day or else threat of inpatient treatment. This was before my first year of college. Never had problems with people before but couldn't make a friend in new environment with the way I looked now. Sad, sallow fat face, no ability to show reactions. People stayed away from me now; a huge shock and blow to my ability to believe in myself. I knew I looked bad, but just not in a way I could put my finger on - like the "glitter" or "spark" was lost. Please consider other options before this drug - there are options! It has been years since I stopped taking it, but the ramifications have snowballed and I still can't lose the weight consistently (fat cells accumulate, metabolism changes) even though I was very athletic in high school. My eyes are a little better now, but my mom was, for the longest time, concerned with why they just spontaneously glazed over. Zyprexa had NO effect on managi | F | 22 | 2 months | 1/29/2009 | 1 | schizoaffective, OCD | SEVERE WEIGHT GAIN!!! , restless leg syndrome in combination with risperidone | took 6 months at 5 and 10mg. was 60kgs before and 100 after. no positive effect noticed. | M | 19 | 6 months | 1/16/2008 | 5 | postpartum ocd | very minimal weight gain 5-6 lbs while on 2.5 dose. 5.0 made me drowsy during the day so had to cut it down to half. | I took 2.5 zyprexa along with 20 mg celexa. I slept better at night. Intrusive thoughts backed off the next day! Anxiety was less because of this. My thinking was more clear during the day. | F | 37 | 5 months | 12/27/2007 | 1 | Anxiety, Bipolar, Depression, OCD | Excessive sleep, increased appetite. Withdrawal symptoms include insomnia and nausea. | It did not help with any of my issues. | M | 22 | 7 weeks | 7/16/2007 | 1 | Anxiety, Depression, OCD, Bipolar | Excessive sleep, fatigue | Took from 2.5MG to 20MG.

Pulled me from my hole like no other. Helps me immensely with my anxiety/panic. It was used to treat my Anorexia foremost. Really helped the negative thoughts and allowed me to begin to feel safe with eating again. I swear....if I am able to, I am never going off of this med. Thank you Zyprexa | F | 25 | 1 years | 1/18/2007 | 3 | Anxiety/OCD | slight weight gain, shaking hands in the early stages. stopping cold turkey: extreme and uncontrollable anxiety and panic. after two weeks of this with no improvement i went back on. will have to taper slowly. | i was prescribed Zyprexa to 'augment' my 60mg of Paxil during an acute bout of anxiety and OCD. It worked well; my intrusive thoughts backed right off and my anxiety dropped away. i was never warned however that some people experience an extreme reaction to a sudden cessation of the drug. i stopped cold turkey after 2 months, and within 3 days was experiencing extreme withdrawal/side effects. 5am-5pm, every day, i would be gripped by never-ending anxiety and panic, and constant crying (sometimes howling). these symptoms were much, much worse than anything i had ever experienced before. after nearly 2 weeks of this i could not stand it anymore and went back on zyprexa. i've been back on it for a week and am finally starting to stabilise again. if you have been prescribed this drug for any of the anxiety disorders then please make sure you taper your does very slowly, as it can weeks (10 or more) for your brain chemistry to readjust to the withdrawal of the drug. a 10% reduction every 2 | M | 33 | 2 months | 10/24/2006 | 1 | depression/ocd | drowsiness, weight gain, weight gain, weight gain. | When I first started taking Zyprexa, I would go to bed and sleep for 14 hours at a time. I gained over 30 pounds in 3 months - which was horrible, but my doctor only recommended increasing the dosage. Seeing a therapist is what helped me, not the meds. | F | 34 | 9 months | 9/11/2005 |
ZYPREXA (OLANZAPINE): Olanzapine is used to treat certain mental/mood conditions (such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder). It may also be used in combination with other medication to treat depression. This medication can help to decrease hallucinations and help you to think more clearly and positively about yourself, feel less agitated, and take a more active part in everyday life. Olanzapine belongs to a class of drugs called atypical antipsychotics. It works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural substances in the brain. Talk to the doctor about the risks and benefits of treatment (especially when used by teenagers). See also Precautions section.
