| 3 | It helped calm me down when needed, slowed me down, and controlled my paranoia/delusions. Be aware of this medication once you quit, or lower it. Say goodbye to sleep? your sleep is f***ed up for a while! I hadn't slept in close to a week to ten days. once I got off maybe a hour or two tops! That alone can make you go ! It takes some people many months for the neurotransmitters to reset again once off this medication. | Take at your own risk!! and do thorough research before starting. Weight gain, fatigue, possible TD, control symptoms. | 31 | 0 days 1X day | 6/7/2021 | 2 | I'm going crazy Coming off of this medicine going on one month on June 12th. It's been hell of a ride to say the least!! Had I known what I know now I would have never touched more than 2.5 mg. First ten days off I was ok. After that not getting rest, I'm barely sleeping it reminds me when I become manic, I'm taking another medication to control my symptoms.how long can one possibly go without having Full adequate sleep a night? Without causing health problems, Such as stroke, heart problems? Variables to consider... Taking melatonin sometimes it knocks me out other times I just lay there exhausted, but cannot go to sleep! Anyone have solutions, or going through this please contact me | 0 days 1X day | 6/8/2021 | 1 | Psychosis | Suicidal zombie | M | 37 | 0 days | 6/18/2019 | 5 | Bipolar 2 | Daytime fatigue, lowering of sex drive. Besides that no side effects. | Very good for depression and suicidal ideas. | M | 30 | 2 times | 10/6/2008 | 5 | | 9/23/2004 | 5 | Depression, Anorexia N,O.S. Anxiety | Better Sleep, reduced intense fear and mood swings, better focus, cold sweats at night, increased fear in open spaces, everything was harder on my body that was semi-strenuous, heart palpitations that finally made me quit. | I really need this drug to find a replacement to Remeron for reasons specified above and my medical history. None of my problems are intentional. I don't understand what has happened to me. What I can say is Zyprexa means the very best and the very worse to me- I"ve taken it briefly 3 times- and lasted a month max all 3 times. I by far love this drug the most, but after getting heart palpitations (was already having stomach distress after eating I noticed), I gave up out of fear. ONCE AGAIN MEDICAL INDUSTRY: Thanks for breaking my heart. But don't you know fellow patients: "We Never Try". To the medical industry: F YOU. -Andrea | F | 29 | | 12/26/2005 | 5 | insomnia, agitation | Not much, but I don't take it regularly. Maybe some agitation or heightened state about 18 to 24h after taking it. | Really makes me sleep when nothing else does. Always works. 2.5mg will usually be sufficient, too. Never needed more than 5mg. Will use sparingly given the risks involved with regular use. But I truly love it-- it helps when I need it. I have to take it some 2h before bedtime, since it takes some time to work. And either take it early or be able to sleep the next morning. It's very calming and pleasant and hasn't caused habituation or lost effectiveness for me. | F | 28 | 5 1X AN | 1/19/2018 | 5 | anxieyt, PTSD, Irrational fears | I know that Zyprea has know metabolic side effects, but it has been a life saving drug for me Shortly after I started taking it, it was like the veil being lifted from an aweful nightmare. To date no major side effects, I exercise regularly and and am very consicous of my diet. No major side effects for me other than fatique when my dosage was increased | zyprexa has been a "miracle" drug for me. Thank you Eli Lilly for producing it!! | M | 46 | | 5/17/2009 | 5 | borderline personality disorder | weight gain | Zyprexa is not the best drug to treat psychotic simptoms,but its not that bad.I have been on many antypsychotic drugs since i was 16 : Geodon,Clozapine,Seroquel,Risperdal,Abilify,Haldol...and now on combination : Haldol 4mg,Zyrexa 20mg,Tegretol 400mg,Prozac 20mg,Xanax 1mg,and they all work fine controling my simptoms.Sure,zyprexa is not the best option for everybody,but it works for me. | M | 18 | | 1/2/2008 | 4 | Bipolar/mania | Weight gain, drowsiness (early on), VERY expensive - get samples from your MD, feeling of being high (early on)...people around you might notice | I started taking this medication for severe manic/irritability episodes and it seemed to work very well. Took me a few days to adjust...severe drowsiness at first and an appetite like I've never seen. These did pass over time and it doesn't take long to adjust to it. Only drawback is the price....VERY expensive ($300 or so for 30) so get samples or see if you can get Eli-Lilly prescription assistance | M | 26 | | 12/13/2009 | 4 | bipolar - schizoaffective | M | 36 | 15mg 1X day | 7/25/2010 Patient History | 4 | delusions and anxiety | drowisiness , lazy, extreme weight gain | was satisfied mentally but phsyically i have put on 6 KGs in a month and that is with exercising, time to try abilify! | M | 22 | 2 1X day | 1/31/2011 | 4 | | 11/2/2001 | 4 | Overwhelmed | Its ok, for a sleep aid.. For the fist few days I was still sleepy for a few hours after, but after a short while, I was ok.. | M | 25 | | 12/15/2004 | 3 | Sleelessness | 35 | | 3/31/2005 | 3 | Cops arrested placed hospital | Inomnia? | I think this medication 10 mg is a great stress reduceer. I started sleeping later then all of a sudden Insomnia hit me so I stupidly started to take seroquel 50mg <------- makes you a stonned zombie now I have insomnia ever after taking seroquel I've tried different sleep meds but they are short lived my advice don't take any of this crap if possiable especially if someone brought you to the mental health floor and they were dressed in blue. I had no choice I had to take it like a big medicated wuss otherwise they would ship me off to a really metal ward. | M | 31 | | 9/17/2006 | 3 | bipolar | I had a good result in stopping mania but now I am more depressed and having suicidal ideation. | F | 40 | | 7/6/2005 | 2 | diagnosed with schizoprenia after being knocked off my pushbike on noosa parade on 10th august 12.10 pm 1998.blood exuded from mainly left ear,eyes in serious state after confirming later on with ambulance staff,fractured skull left temporal.soon after had anxious moments for no emotional reasons.found out it was possibly side effects of morphine from paramedic with energex community rescue helicopter and later in hospital during my long 3 day stay[couldn't wait to get out].paranioa and distrust of people,lack of vitamins and minerals,soft tissue damage,spine and nerve damage,emotions of post traumatic stress because of what was happening afterwards. . .it goes on . what i needed and still need since the accident is time at a health farm for at least two weeks. i am currently and have since may 2006, been on resperdal. i find it satisfactory until i learn more. also because i have consumed alcohol for the last ten years and am the sucker on the end of the smoke, this is a pertinent | F | 49 | | 11/1/2008 | 1 | depression | | 9/13/2007 | 1 | depression | numb head, incredibly sleepy, high blood sugars, gas, weight gain | did not help mood disorder, only drugged me so much i didnt care | F | 36 | | 11/14/2008 |
