I've been back on Zyprexa for a while now for my schizophrenia. It worked great in the past, but it gave me the munchies (it was like having a guy pointing a gun at my head telling me to eat); I ended up putting on 60 lb. in 2 months. Luckily, my cholesterol levels stayed well within the safe range. It was either going back onto the Zyprexa...or more severe measures.

Luckily, the Zyprexa is working great, I don't have the munchies, and I've actually lost about 10 lb!

The bitter part is that I pulled the plug on my BF2 subscription. All good things must come to an end, I guess.

    I used to take Zyprexa back in Middle School, White. It didn't work for me. In the two month period that I took it, I gained about 50 lbs, got suspended from school, and got talked to by numerous cops because of the theft I was commiting (Money and other things). The end result of this was that I was admitted to a Psych Ward to "Detox". Worst two months of my life and I still don't understand why I acted the way I did after all these years.

    I don't have Schizophrenia, though. I have Chronic Depression , ADHD, and something called "Non-Verbal Learning Disorder". I take Geodon and Adderall for those, and I've been on them for a very long time now, and they work great for me.

    Guess meds work different for different people. I'd never take Zyprexa again myself. Glad it's working for you, though.

    Being in the psychology field, I think its great that you take your meds. Most people are embarrassed about taking them. I think its dumb not to take them. If you are diabetic, you take insulin. If you are depressed, you take a SSRI.

    I used to do Adderal and Zyprexa, topped it off with some wellbutrin. Still a smoker too. Smoked while on wellbutrin. Go figure.
