Hi I am new this website. Hope someone can help me. I was diagnosed with Bipolar a year ago and took many medications (Effexor, Risperdal, Seroquel, etc.) to control it but they never seemed to work. Two days ago my psychiatrist put me on Zyprexa 2.5mg to help with my concentration. I feel no different on the Zyprexa (many people say it works fast), so I was wondering if anyone knew how long it takes to start working? Also, does anyone have any feedback about this med? Pro's only, no Con's (I know it is a weight gainer). I just want to get my life back! Thanks. ## Hi, Armand! Sorry about the difficulties you've been having. These types of medications do tend to have some effect immediately, but generally take about 4 to 6 weeks to reach their full level of efficacy in the bo...

What is Zyprexa 20mg. Use for. And what are all the side affects you get from taking it. It's a white round pill ## Zyprexa is an antipsychotic drug some doctors have prescribed for sleep, which I disagree with as there are far better options out there for this. Antipsychotics have a whole different set of side effects than other meds, especially with long term use....some effects are irreversible. Please google zyprexa and go to a medical website for more info. Forewarned is forearmed. You are in charge of your health care and if you don't have a psychiatric reason to use this med find a different one. Don't take no for an answer! Good luck! PS, it works great for sleep but the risks far outweigh the benefits ( assuming there is no psych reason for taking this drug.) People...

I am thinking about trying to ween off of zyprexa to see how my body does on its own. I have never been properly diagnosed and in all honesty haven't given counseling, etc., a great chance. Now my family and I would like to see what happens if I ween off these meds. Any suggestions or thoughts? We're planning to decrease dosage every few days. ## To prevent the withdrawal and rebound effects, these types of medications must be very slowly tapered, so the schedule should actually be more like taking the dosage lower every few weeks. Learn more Zyprexa details here. It will take a week or so, each time you lower, for your body to recognize and adjust to the lowered dosage, so doing it every few days would be really pushing it. Have you talked to your doctor about it? They'll b...

I'd like to know more about the clinical uses of Oleanz Rt 10mg and its potential side effects. ## Oleanz is listed as containing the active ingredient Zyprexa, which is an antipsychotic medication. I am not sure, however, if the RT contains an additional ingredient, since I couldn't find any information on it. The side effects to Zyprexa may include nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and weight changes. Does anyone have more information on the RT formulation?

Im taking 2.5 mg of zyprexa on a daily basis and want to know if anyone has information on what i should watch out for when purchasing workout supplements.. ## It is kind of hard to say for sure since there are so many types of supplements/ingredients. Watch out for any depressants (such as alcohol), as well as anything which could exacerbate further dehydration. Your blood pressure might also be affected so try to avoid supplements which affect your heart rate/etc. Best bet would be to stick with a natural protein supplement which does not contain fat burning ingredients or anything else intended to mess with your metabolism. Does that make sense? ## yea it makes sense. another issue that im having is that i currently do not have health insurance and this medication is very expensive. ...

I was prescribed an anti-depressant that phonetically sounds like zyphermean....locate all effects and correct spelling, please ## Hi Susanne, Just to list a couple possibilities that I found: -Zyprexa is an atypical antipsychotic, approved by the FDA for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. -Xyphedrine is a weight loss supplement (may or may not have any anti depressive properties) With all the thousands of drug names out there, it's going to very difficult to determine a match for this. I tried a handful of different variations of your spelling as well, with no luck. Have you tried contacting any pharmacies about this? That's probably the next thing I would do in this situation, other than checking with health food stores that sell over the counter anti depress...

i found them in my 14 year old sons bedroom.olanzapine 5mg oval tablets with lilly 4115.what are they? Also what are the effects or side effects of them. ## Olanzapine is an atypical antipsychotic, used to treat various mental disorders. Some of the side effects it causes includes: nausea, drowsiness, weight gain and severe sedation. I would think that due to the sedation, drowsiness and the possibility of dizziness, some kids may like to abuse it, because these are similar to the effects of a narcotic.

Are there any other comments or questions? ## bipolar disorder; schizophrenia; depression; schizoaffective disorder; insomnia (and more), and belongs to the drug class atypic...

It is A bit like pointing the bone in some cases. I do not always believe in these diagnoses and think that diagnostics are often wrong.I put it down to pressures in todays society trying to be as rich/ as the Jones's when you have no one to help backyou financially/ a financial genecide if you like. Keep the poor bastards drugged/and labeled with a mental illness/ once drugged they pose as a lessor threat. It is all bulls***. ## Prozac
