I started sleep walking on serenace/ cogentin so the doctor put me on Zyprexa/alanzapine is this normal I think serenace/cogentin are dangerous. ## It is a rare, but possible side effect of most antipsychotic medications. There are also very serious side effects that can result from using Zyprexa. The most common ones that cause problems for those taking it is severe weight gain, which often results in Type II Diabetes and extreme withdrawal symptoms when they try to stop taking it.

My husband had severe problems when he was taking Zyprexa and he had only been on it for a short time and it was a nightmare when he stopped taking it. So anyone who takes these types of medications needs to realize,...

The only adverse side effect I've experienced with Zyprexa is weight gain. I've gained 40 pounds in a year but I'm so stable on it it hardly matters!

Also, since Zyprexa causes hunger, the weight gain will not stop or slow down, that is a constant ef...
