  • schizophrenia is manufactured stigma.

  • All meds affect people different, folks. Just because one person tolerated it well, doesn't mean another person won't have various, sometimes serious, side effects. Not everyone will gain weight, but some will. Not everyone will develop diabetes as a result, but some will.  Period. Psych meds are no laughing matter.

  • Some people really love to show how STUPID they are. If you don't know what you are talking about, maybe say nothing at all.

  • i disagree smh a pill cannot make you have diabetes , its what you eat that makes you have it

  • or maybe you were a fat fuck before and geeeeee you are an even fatter fuck after. Gosh!! Shocking!!

  • i took this med for 2x periods, and experienced 2 main side effects. 1, being the weight gain. nothing massive. the 2nd being increasing suicidal tendancies. i know it was the med because i took it for 2x periods of around 6-8 months.both times the longer i was on it, the worse i got. i weaned off it, i improved in that area. ive been off it again now for about 6 months, and have hardly any suicidal thoughts.i was told that sometimes these meds can actually inflame what ur trying to control.

  • Eli Lilly Zyprexa suits

    They called it the *Five at Five* (5 mg at 5 pm to keep nursing home patients subdued and sleepy) and *VIVA ZYPREXA* (Zyprexa for everybody) campaigns to off label market Eli Lilly Zyprexa as a fix for unapproved usage. Big Pharma companies that have relied on fraud to market industry's worst pharmaceuticals--antipsychotic drugs--which have become industry's most profitable cash cow. ---

  • Did you know that Eli Lily also makes a lot of money off of diabetes medicines?

  • Ive been taking this drug since it first came out in the 90's. I have had massive weight gain and get tired easily. i ve lost a lot of confidence due to my weight gain. I hav nt developed diabetes though On the positive side it does control my psychotic symptoms, which is a relief as i seriously self harmed.

  • don't swallow any neuroleptica!

  • don't swallow zyprexa even as schizo!

  • I was taking this exact antipsychotic pill and you don't get diabets unless you eat mc donalds and nasty shit like that. I was eating around 7,000 calrious clean mass gained 20 pounds in 2 weeks thing is a mircle if you know what you're doing but this pill makes me crazyier more agressive i think it's becuse i workout i even grew on a month and half on this crap

  • The thing science refuses is that every bodies body is different, sure they say it but applying it is living it, how one drug effects one person might not effect another in the same way. Simple as that. If it works good, but hopefully any body that 'has' to take medication can learn to heal themselves with out medication which in the end is far more taxing on your body.

  • @WarriorOfTheBlackSun Excellent point. The focus needs to be on balanced, healthy lifestyles (diet, exercise, etc) but there's too much money to be made in medicating people.

  • im 18, ive been on zyprexa for about 4 years now sort of off and on. it does sort of give me a "doped" feeling, but maybe its bc im off and on, but i have never experienced weight gain. i do lead an active life and i am young but i really think it also depends on your lifestyle. i have gained weight over the years but probasbly a healthy amount of about ten to fifteen pounds over a 4 year period. i think its just because im growing.. i think it helps when im on it

  • "I was 260 before."

    that is still very heavy. I would like to see a study done on how many of the people that developed diabetes were also already significantly heavier than the general population to begin with

  • I luv this drug. Only reason i use it is for appetite. I went from 108 lbs 5'10" to 150 lbs 5'10". Been on it for 5 years now. I understand this drug would suck for 99.99% of the population, but its good for those with eating disorders who suffer from being underweight and low appetite. If you don't have those problems then you should NEVER take this drug. There are way better anti-psychotics or mood stabilizers out there on the market.

  • time those guys got sorted out, was a batch tablets sent to india from the usa labelled zyprexa,the uk bought them from india in good faith ,they went to forsenics lab to see wat was in em? lets say rat poison was the main ingredient,btw your lucky risperdane screwed me up

  • READ the 'Rolling Stone' article on the dangers of Zyprexa!!! It's called 'Bitter Pill', and is in the February 5, 2009 issue. You'll be shocked!!! The FDA, and much of what big pharma passes as beneficial meds is CRIMINAL!!!

  • i take 25 mg a day for 6 days .i dont feel any results good or bad.

  • As an update.... , I'm as right as rain today , but I do feel more than relief. I feel alot of extra energy and wellness. In all of this , I have , and had - no signs of having a cold or flu symptoms. The last thing I need is diabetes as well. I'm thinking a reinstatement of the 15mg / day would prove that I have had a bad reaction or this has been an unexpected side effect positively. I am giving some consideration as to why I wasn't prescribed 2.5 mg / day or such. Time will tell.

  • I keep rehashing how the nasal congestion began. It just hit me the first night when I tried to sleep. I wasn't getting a drop of air , so I paniced and went to the emergency room , where I got some nasal mist , in a pump. It wasn't until I spat everything that was getting into my mouth , thinking it was just nasal congestion , when really , it was a detox of the Zyprexa wearing off in the 4th day. Glad I can say this here to warn others , as I'm shaking a bit even now.

  • I can say for sure , that I remained awake for 4 days , even after trying to take a sleeping pill , and experienced not breathing at all through my mouth , when I was dozing off. I was sharply reawakened , which I found strange and repeatedly thought about. So , I dropped the Zyprexa pills , and now in 4 days , my nose is finally clear. Scarey to think that I was not going to breathe if I had dozed off in the 4 days. I watched tv the whole time and didn't even think then , it was the Zyprexa

  • I just realized today that my Zyprexa dosage of 15mg / day , caused me to develop a nasal congestion , that completely blocked me from breathing through my nose. Worse , I wasn't able to sleep and breathe. And here I am looking into it. I rushed to the hospital and got a nasal spray prescription and stopped taking my meds. It worked. And here I am sitting here reading about how I have taken about 1800mg of it in the last 4 months , when far less can leave you with pheumonia. I LIVED !

  • i love zyprexa, shut the fuck up is the best drug ever. i have tried paxel,prozac/fontex.seroquel and abilify. and zyprexa beats them all

  • Zyprexa just made me tired, I did gain weight, but I forget what all the side effects were, it's a blur.

  • Im taking zyprexa, i dont have diabetes, but it runs in my familey, I will have to be on this drug for a year or so before i get off of it, I hate medications, but i am forced to take them, beats risperdol though.

  • hahah zyprexa is a placebo drug ... dude if i was you rob i would go find the guy who made this drug and roll him up in a carpet and throw him over a bridge....very tall bridge

  • i was taking zyprexa for psychosis and my symptoms got mad, the voices went away but the illusions of demons got worse, that i could actually see faces of angry tormented souls

  • zyprexa can be a great drug ore a bad drug, nobody reacts the same way on these drugs, for some it worsk and for some it dosent. and about the weight gain, you yust have to control your eating while your on the drugs. its not the drug it self thats make you fat, it the hunger feeling the drug crate that can be a problem if you don watch out. but the best ting is to combine exersise and pills, that will benefit you. so all in all, zyprexa is a great drug if used correct.

  • POST 1

    Hi People

    I can help with the overweight-thing

    I'd been on zyprexa for 1.5 years (holly shit! it was 1.5 years^^) starting with 20mg... until I stopped approx. 2 months.

    TThis drug is officially called behind the doors (as other neuroleptica too): "braindamaging therapy" it damages higher brain functions and therefore stops 'illnes symptoms' (...)

    If you are suffering from huge overweight:

    Drink as much water as you can. 3 or 4 litters a day. I'm not joking this was my tactic - it worked

  • i have been taking clozapine for a few years now. i have forgotten what zyprexa was like. except to say it produced a 30kg weight gain. i would like to help but i forgotten. sorry.

  • I am working with a law professor on a book about Zyprexa. We are seeking stories from people who have taken the drug about what impact it had on them (in terms of their health and lives). Please message me if you are willing to talk about your experiences while on Zyprexa.

  • As much as I despise neuroleptics and both work and hope for their banishment, if I ever am forced (again) to have to take a neuroleptic, zyprexa is the only one I'd want. Most people hate it and they should, but if I have the choice to take the zyprexa for 3-10 days and be on my way or wind up on anything else for 2-8 months, I'll take the former.

  • Imhonrydadcomeinside: shit yeah, stop taking it. take quetiapine instead. if you stay on zyprexa, you will get diabetes and become obese and eat more. this drug is counterproductive. i like commenting on this video because heaps of people agree that this drug sucks.

  • I have taken my first tablett. Should I stop now? Will I get diabetes?

  • i hear yah MiddyAlmighty. that is the same with me. what i say dont mean shit to my social worker.

    no, your wrong. you have a mental illness because i say so. what you are experiencing are psychotic episodes.

    i hate him.

  • My mom's psychiatrist gave this to my mom for bipolar. She has had pancreatic failure for years. My mom doesn't even have bipolar. This doctor thought that everybody has bipolar. I hate him.

  • I'm for sending every one of the Clinically Normative Ones back in time and let them materialize in the crossfire at the battle of Antietam or Shiloh. What a degenerate bunch of useless people---"mental health professionals" yes they are the modern counterparts to Inquisitors from the Holy Office breaking people on the wheel but today they do it with drugs. Write Congress demand FDA be closed down and EVERY Big Pharma get its assets seized 100% and put in prison for life.

  • Zyprexa caused me to have very excessive weight gain and I now have high blood pressure at only 21 years old. Do not, do not take this drug!

  • Yes, this drug is bad news. Taking it is like being between a rock and a hard place. Your psychotic "symptoms" will be squashed, but you will shorten your life and decrease the quality of your life secondary to the inevitability of diabetes and heart disease. I couldn't even recognize an old friend of mine after taking this med. He was thin and gorgeous. He doesn't look anything the same.. just huge..and drugged.

  • wtf!!!! you think this is a great drug! how long have you been on it? this drug is the work of satan. that is a first time i heard that zyprexa is a great drug. i need to know how long have you been taking this drug? if it is early days, i can understand you not putting on massive amounts of weight. i gained 30kg in 5 months

  • I had mental problems by taking illegal street drugs, which I now dont take, I takes 2.5 mg Zyprexa before I sleep and it helps me to get a deep nights sleep, It has helped me a lot and quitens my restless mind. I also havnt put on any extra weight. I think this is a great drug.

  • What about the way zyprexa knocks you out? I took it before I went to bed and I collapsed before I could get to it... My motor functions were so impaired that I couldn't stand. It was just like a bad dream where I couldn't move. Is this similar to diabetic shock?

  • i agree with that worthlessmisery. i think everyone who takes this drug want to stop taking this drug. the process is: get a mental illness, take zyprexa, get fat, then go on something else. the only role when taking zyprexa is to get fat.

  • I am going to get the doctor that put me on it and force feed him the tablets. this drug is very evil. I mean the side effects are disaterous. giving xyprexa to people with manic depression or depressed people is the worst thing the doctors can do. These people already hate themselves, when they gain weight they usually try to commit suicide as I tried. This piece of shit needs to be taken off the market.

  • zyprexa sucks big time. i gained 30kg because of that stuff. i thought 80kg was fat. because of that stuff i was 110kg. i am on something else, i have lost 10kg. i had such a lean face. i have a chubby face now.

  • I am furious. My huband had to be admitted to get off EffexorXr under hospital supervision. He was doing great last weekend, Clear and alert. now his doctors have just put him on Zyprexa. And yes, he was diagnosed with diabetes and has a heart condition and his speach is slurred. I can't believe it. With all the law suits and evidence condeming this drug (and others). Believe it or not, this is a teaching hospital. This should be off the market. I will be in there tomorrow raising holy H#ll

  • I am so sorry this is happening to your husband. Zyprexa is a horrible psychotic drug. These doctors and pharmaceudical companies are off the wall thinking that these drugs help, when they are dangerous drugs.

    I hope yo ucan get this resolved. It is hard to fight doctors.

  • the medicine works really works for the neurotransmitters but it has side-effects. Cant win for losing. I'd rather take it than have my family live with the bi-polar side-effects.

  • quitting eating is no solution. get off the drug.

  • You're a piece of shit. Learn what life is about. Turn off the TV.

  • Olanzapine was one of the first meds my doctor put me on. I was on it for 2 years. It was really helpful but managed to ruin my physical health and take away my emotions.

  • I am wondering if anyone here knows if excessive "tripping" can cause permanent psychosis, necessitating zyprexa. I had a friend who I strongly suspect this is the case with. And how is this drug the answer?

  • Generally psychedelic drugs (which I assume you are referring to) usually do not cause psychosis in the vast majority people, even after repeated use. LSD has actually been used to successfully treat psychosis in a few cases. However, if the person has any underlying potential for psychosis, the psychedelic may "bring it out", but generally all strictly drug-induced psychoses are temporary and reversible.

  • Pay attention here, ALL of the vaccinations are serious poison, 100% fraud (amalgam tooth fillings as well), 95% at least of the pharmaceuticals are both medical and government fraud, zero science there, just outright fraud...

  • Wake up! I graduated in 1979 with an MS from Montana State University, GPA 3.84, 8 yrs chemistry/biology/statistics, went in a year later to get diagnostics on a sinus cyst, instead found myself locked up in a mental ward and coerced with drugs. About the same time I was threatened with dire consqs if I didn't help embezzle money through the Soil Conservation Service - one of the MDs was also involved in that... meanwhile, I nearly died from the cyst...

  • now i get all these doctor coming down my house and checking up on m2 like 2 time a week and i carnt tell them to stop or they will jut lock me up in a mental hospital,,,,these starnge doctors comes to see me and spend like 1 hour asking me stupid question like what date is it to day and what is the priministers

  • HOLLLLLLLLLYYYYY FUCKING Shit I gained boobs from welbutrin and now I am planning to shoot them up.

  • I'm on Lexapro, Zyprexa, Amitrptyline and Campral and I'm really depressed I thought these pills were supposed to work

  • I'm so fucking glad I didn't listen to my psychiatrist and stopped taking it.. :D

  • I only tried one antipsychotic drug and it was Risperdal and it made me fat without the hunger, I have also been prescribed Seroquel but took it for like two days. I guess if these meds are necessary for some cases like extreme psychosis they should be used for that. They gave it to me because I was already on a stimulant med and one out of all of them made me paranoid, so it wasn't needed unless I was on that drug which they will not give me anymore (Dexedrine).

  • You guys are all nuts. This is the only way i can legally get high and it's awesome.

  • Why does Lilly, & the psych. not HAVE TO PAY US, FOR RUINING, OUR MINDS, DESTROYING our Lives & Families?

    The psych. & its' "meds" R Mental Illness.

    Installed & Servaced.

    They seem to want to entrap me every 2 Years.

    My Nurse told me it was entrapment!

  • hey im bewing tested for diabetes now my fmaiyl doc suggseted zyprex a iwas on respirdal and i hated how that made me feel and then i took zyprxa fo ra bit and i gained like a 100 pounds so i got offa it now im on seraquel. but i wish id never taken zyprexa i hope i dont have diabetes :( sigh stupid drug dealer docs

  • Eli Lilly and Company Agrees to Pay $1.415 Billion to Resolve Allegations of Off-label Promotion of Zyprexa. The largest criminal fine to a single corporation in history. Finally, not just a slap on the wrist.

  • i took this stuff for two weeks when i was admitted to the hospitol (weed laced with PCP messed me up). So I was eating huge meals. We had to check from a menu what we wanted. I checked like everythign. I would get a hamburger, a sandwhich, all the sides availible, i would put X2 next to everything. get two milks, two juices, pour sugar packs into both (something i never do) and it all tasted great to me. i was still hungry after. i would try to get more food. other people would give me

  • Thats because that drug adversely affects your metabolizm slowing it right down and affects also your thyroid gland. Thats why you gain alot of weight.

  • I take Zyprexa. It doesnt hurt me at all. It controls my mood and anxiety. People generally arent forced to take these drugs unless they have become a danger to themselves or others. If you cant control your disease, then what? You specnd your life in and out of jails and hospitals just because you dont like the stuff that helps you?

  • That's a good point.

    Something people should think more about.

  • Spend our the rest of our lifes in and out of jails and hospitals?

    What kind of human being are you americans?

    We Shizophrenics are ill people not criminals.

    There are more people on our daily life that have serious mental deseases and they do not want to receive medical treatment.

    Good bless we our people

    And to the hell whith all horrible men an women like cho the Korean Killer.

    That,s the real pain for this illnes, the real stigma of our world,s civilization

  • Compare the salaries of the shrinks, to the payouts of ssdi. I would say shrinks get at least 100K a year. I have a computer science degree so why would I want to collect 600 a month in ssdi when my degree is worth 60-100K a year?The patients are not the ones who truly profit from being drugged. It is the drug companies, for which one year Eli Lilly made half of all their profits off zyprexa alone.I don't agree with my labels either, but they drugged me anyway and now I have a heart condition.

  • Comment removed

  • The angry taxpayers will have to pay for the ssdi and welfare checks that go out to people who take psychiatric drugs and end up with physical illnesses. So, stop saying these labeled people are ALL a bunch of murderers who need drugs, because the result is higher taxes for you.I don't even think labels are linked to murder, but the people who truly profit from it are the psychiatrists, therapists, and drug companies, making a darn good living while their victims get 600 a month in ssdi.

  • So now if you are so angry GURNSI, do something to stop the forced lifelong drugging, or even starting people on drugs, and that way you can prevent them from getting ssdi checks and they can go on with their lives and work like everyone else like Dr. Fisher of the National Empowerment Center who was labeled with schizophrenia but got better without drugs.

  • I in not way have a weight problem but I had to stop this med due to the rediculous starvation. So, my question is, how long did it take for your hunger to normalize when you withdrew from Zyprexa? I've been off for an entire 4 weeks and the hunger has not changed. I am terrified that it is not going to change.

  • yes..omsvikingur i do kno what im talkin about..i never said marijuana had withdrawl effects..im still addicted to benzos and opiates.i take multiple mixtures evry day...i was only referring that i am trying to stay clean off weed.and u only smoked for a year ur an AMATEUR. smoked for 10 yrs evry day.and i go into withdrawls from opiates evry day until i take some....

    i have cold chills and tremors,anxiety,and manic episode,also violent outburst.that is addiction...10yrs 2 ur 1 DAMN AMATEUR

  • oh, and whoever called themselves a "recovering marijuana addict" doesn't know what an addict is. I've been addicted to benzos (xanax, valium, etc) which I just recently got over..marijuana has no withdrawal syndrome like other drugs..you might get depressed for a while, but it's nothing life-threatening..trust me, I used to smoke everyday all day for about a year till I just quit one day cause I couldn't afford it anymore. I never sold anything for it either..that would be addiction.

  • This stuff is horrible. I've been taking 10mg Zyprexa once before bed for about 2 weeks now and I get the shakes at night..my whole body shakes from anxiety like an attack or seizure..I'm not seeing this psych anymore cause I don't trust him now..I'm weaning myself off it, and then I don't know what I'm going to do..

  • Comment removed

  • I know people labeled with bipolar and none of them possess the character deficits you describe, and I am not bipolar.The welfare checks and ssdi payments come from the drugs causing disability, if you don't believe it causes disability, prove it by taking 20 different psychiatric drugs for 15 years like I did and see if you can still work and eat normally on them.I worked while I was going blind, I would be intermittently blind from my rapid eye blinking& witnessed as too freaky to imitate

  • Comment removed

  • So you are saying that these drugs don't cause sleepiness, tardive dyskinesia, migraines, or any other type of PHYSICAL illness? People have successfully been able to work WITHOUT DRUGS who got labeled, but very few who took the drugs worked while taking drugs that caused rapid eye blinking blindness tardive dyskinesia.Just ask yourself why these people get locked up, can they work while they get locked up?What is the reason for locking up people who didn't commit any crime?

  • Comment removed

  • Yes, they forced drugged me and injected it in my body while holding me down.The only way you can stop paying for their ssdi is to make sure they don't get drugged and the psychologists and psychiatrists, and the drug companies, as well as the hospitals lose their right to do this to innocent people who would rather work and make 100K a year than to live like a poor person, and to end discrimination in the workplace because usually the employers just like to get rid of all the disabled workers.

  • Comment removed

  • im on zyprexa, seroquel, eppilim and lexapro , all have side effects wich made me gain weight and caused deppresion. the lexapro (anti deppresant) holds back serotonin levels in my brain wich makes me more depressed.(ironic isnt it). the rest are ust as bad. be carefull guys and girls.talk to your docror if you need more info. hope yall get better. :P peace.

  • personally im a recovering addict of marijuana and multiple other drugs....weed only makes anxiety worse trust me...i was usin evry day for 10 yrs..im 21...zyprexa may seem bad but against seroquel or geodon..its very good..i never gained weight or got diabetes...i was doin good on zyprexa..but switched 2 seroquel...its just horrible....intense nightmares...and feelin like a zombie during the day...so compared to other drugs zyprexa is decent...

  • my psychiatrist just gave me a weeks worth of zyprexa yesterday, this is after taking a weeks worth of geodon which was the most terrible drug ive ever taken. im not bi polar and im not schizophrenic. i have anxiety and depression. im hesitant to start this because of the weight gain because im already overweight. should i not take this at all. or should i go back to vaporizing marijuana for my anxiety? id rather hear from a real person.

  • When my mom was having a hard time with me as a teenager (sneaking out w/a boyfriend @ 16), she convinced me see a psychiatrist.He prescribed zyprexa.She said if I was normal it wouldn't do anything to me. I was so young and stupid I took it to make her happy. Luckily, she stopped trying to make me take it after about 2 weeks. I was so "out of it" I couldn't even carry on a conversation. The only benefit is that it made me numb.I didn't feel pain- the kind thats in the heart and doesn't go away.

  • what? this should only be prescriped in desperate last minute or extreme psychosis situations

  • Please repost this video as a video response to MindFreedom's "Normathon" video. I tried to approve it but an error occurred.

  • my s23 year old son just started taking zypexa if it's so bad and they have a law suit out why are they still giving it to people..he's been on it for about 3 days now. when do we say ok it's not working or it's bad what kinds of things do we look for??

  • Read this book: "Mental Disorders & Spiritual Healing: Teachings from the Early Christian East", by Jean-Claude Larchet

  • it is no so bad med, if you do some sport, its OK. it can save your life.

  • fuk off im nearin death with this shit

  • I hated Zypexa...I gained 20kg in approx 3 weeks, I felt like a walking zombie and I would find my self sleep walking....it is a crap med and did nothing for my illness...I take solian now which is heaps better but I guess with these types of drugs they all have some shitty side effects!

  • no you didnt gain 20 kg in 3 weeks from the drug,you must have binge eaten to extreme to do this,zyprexa increases appetite ,its on the packet but not to this extent.

  • I just found zyprexa not good for me, I

  • Ooops accidently pressed the enter key...I am just saying zyprexa was no good for me, I did not binge eat at all!! I also play sports twice a week, it was the first med I was on and the weight gain was due to it and also the zombie affect. Just because it was not good for me doesn't mean it won't be good for someone else, we are all individuals and our chemical makeup is different. I have success with solian but someone else may not.

  • yeah that general dope feelings sucks.. what mg were you taking?

  • i was on 5mg dude i gained 40 and then lost half of it.. it does not make you feel good at all. i was doped. im glad i dont have to take it anymore
