    I've been taking zyprexa for four weeks now and recently added trazodone. Severe anxiety has decreased and I can now go outside by myself again. Severe depression has also decreased, but I am now experiencing "blank" mood. Minor weight gain. I will try this for another week and speak to my doctor about "blank" feeling which is a real downside.

    Worst drug ever made! I put on 32 Kilos and I'm struggling even with good eating and daily exercise to remove it. Even after stopping the drug. Don't take this drug. Don't trust any doctor who is endorsing this drug is it dangerous deleterious to your health and should be recalled and removed from prescription immediately!

    My psychiatrist, recently, increased my dose to 5 MG. I take it at night. I am sleeping better, am more relaxed ( not anxious), feel more like I think I should feel. I haven't gained any weight and I've been on zyprexa for 2 months. It's really helping me.

    I first took this medication several years ago and it pulled me out of a severe depression. It caused extreme weight gain. Now that I've started taking it again, I feel emotionally numb. It has taken away all feelings and made my head feel foggy, like I can't think straight. I hate the way it's making me feel and am stopping the med tonight.
