| Rating: | 3 (somewhat satisfied) |
| Date Added: | 8/7/2022 Sex: M Age: 60 |
| Reason: | Schitzoaffective |
| Side Effects: | Cognitive, short term memory loss… difficulty keeping train of thought. Almost euphoric without the happiness, difficult to describe. |
| Comments: | Taking 10mg Zyprexa at night and 5mg Abilify in the morning. Zyprexa definitely potent drug that does calm and limit Schitzoaffective symptoms. However at a dose that works I definitely know the drug is controlling major parts of my life and personality. |

| Rating: | 3 (somewhat satisfied) |
| Date Added: | 5/24/2024 Sex: M Age: 62 |
| Reason: | Schitzoaffective |
| Side Effects: | I'm still taking this medication. Zyprexa is a serious drug. Only take if you need. Dystonia. |
| Comments: | Zyprexa works but for me only at higher dose than I take. For me when I get to a dose that fully controls schitzoaffective it dumbs me down and dopes me up. I stay at 10 mg or sometimes lower as a compromise. Would not recommend this medication unless you need it. |
| Duration: | 2 years Dosage: 1X D |
