Symbyax (fluoxetine/olanzapine) for Depression: Awesome medicine. I was so depressed I thought I'd have to be shipped off to an assisted living facility due to my gross inability to care for myself. I am back to work, and clear minded, and don't feel as crazy as I once did. I am grateful for this medicine.

Symbyax (fluoxetine/olanzapine) for Depression: Have been taking this for two weeks. My children and husband can tell what a difference it has made, though I have been much harder to wake up in the morning. That is the reason I rated it a 9. I do sleep better, focus better, but one issue, I am having trouble remembering what I have done in the evenings after I take my medication.

Symbyax (fluoxetine/olanzapine) for Depression: I agree, this medicine is a wonder drug. For years I thought I was going to be depressed for the rest of my life. This drug changed that thought pretty quickly.

Symbyax (fluoxetine/olanzapine) for Bipolar Disorder: I was on this for several months and my mentality improved 100%. I have not felt so good in years. I was absolutely amazed by this medicine.
I am only giving it a 7 for the simple fact that not only did it cause weight gain, but my ankles and fingers stayed swollen and was painful. I tried taking Lasix to get rid of the swelling, but it just never worked. I really hated to come off this medicine.

Symbyax (fluoxetine/olanzapine) for Bipolar Disorder: I tried several medicines before finding success with this one. My depression and mood swings are under control, and life is manageable. My friends and family tell me that I'm much more enjoyable to be around now. I feel that this medicine saved my life. The only negative effect it has is that I'm hungrier and have gained some weight. I've just had to make adjustments in my diet to eat healthy, but this is a good thing for my overall health too. I feel so great on this medicine that the negative effect is worth it.

Symbyax (fluoxetine/olanzapine) for Bipolar Disorder: Only ten days and I am a new man. I have had zero weight gain. I don't eat everything I see. Racing thoughts are gone. I feel super light. I have energy like never before. I don't procrastinate simple tasks. I don't snap at people. I am way more active and do things that I want. I don't do anything self destructive. Anxiety gone. I am 28 and I didn't have a clue I was bipolar till 8 months ago. I feel like I just woke up and everyone around me can't believe how extremely different I am. I love my new life. I take this with Lithobid. Did I mention how awesome life is.

Symbyax (fluoxetine/olanzapine) for Bipolar Disorder: THIS MEDICINE WORKED FOR ME EXCEPT THE SIDE EFFECT OF SWELLING FEET AND ANKLES, AND PAIN IN THE ANKLES. I STOPPED THE MEDICINE ON MY OWN DUE TO THE SWELLING.

Symbyax (fluoxetine/olanzapine) for Bipolar Disorder: Have used it off and on for 2 years now. It works wonderfully, and improvement is usually shown immediately. However, it affects my blood sugar immensely and I usually have to quit taking it. If I don't eat constantly I get very sick and shaky because of low blood sugar and because I have to eat constantly I gain weight. The medicine itself works great, it would just be nice to not have to sacrifice feeling well physically for mentally.
