| Rating | Reason | Side Effects | Comments | Sex | Age | Time Taken and Dosage | Date Added | |
| 1 | Depression, anxiety delusions | Huge bloated stomach, big hunger, weight gain | This drug was not appropriate for me since I do not have bipolar or schizophrenia. Instead of therapy, I was drugged out of my mind. Doctors should have known based on my personality that risky drugs are not my thing… I like to be healthy and a normal weight. Within a week or two my stomach bulged out. I've been off the drug since Jan 2021 and my stomach is still sticking out like I'm pregnant or bloated. Whyyyy??? You could gain a lot of weight quickly on this drug, like over a pound a day. That adds up fast. Serious drugs like this should be reserved for only the most extreme cases of bipolar or schizophrenia given the nasty side effects. Too bad it's given out for so many other off-label conditions. | F | 39 | 30 days 1X D | 9/15/2022 | |
| 2 | Depression, anxiety delusions | I'm no longer taking this medication. I stopped taking Zyprexa after two weeks. It did not work. It just gave me a big stomach. | F | 39 | 1X D | 5/6/2024 | ||
