For Paranoid Disorder "I had a paranoid stint and was getting no sleep. My doctor gave me Zyprexa, and it pulled me out of that state very quickly. I like to refer to it as pulling out the big guns. It had no side effects for me, and I was on it a short while."

For Bipolar Disorder "I was switched to Zyprexa Zydis about two weeks ago by my psychiatrist to help with the huge weight gain and compulsive overeating caused by regular Zyprexa. So far, my appetite has decreased significantly, and I'm feeling a lot better about myself physically and emotionally."

For Borderline Personality Disorder "Worst, make me feel extremely dizzy and about to pass out any time soon... I even fall off on my bathroom floor because I'm unable to stand still. I take it at night, but the effects are still there when I wake up in the morning!"

For Schizophrenia "Terrible medicine. Started taking it when I first had a psychotic episode. Gave me akathisia, didn't sleep for a week, ended up in the ER where they finally realized they should give me a tranquilizer to put me to sleep for about 6 hours. Next thing I know, I'm being woken up and transported to a psych hospital. I slept 0 hours in a week, and they wake me up to transport me after a few hours. The hospital was empty with plenty of beds. America's health care is garbage. They should have just let me sleep as much as possible at the hospital. Absolute garbage."

For Schizoaffective Disorder "No medication has gotten rid of all of my symptoms, but Zyprexa Zydis is one of the best I've tried (and I have tried them all, literally). I noticed the munchies on regular Zyprexa tabs, but none on Zyprexa Zydis. I have actually lost weight. I gave it a rating of 8 because I still have symptoms of schizoaffective disorder, but a high enough rating to give it kudos compared to other drugs."

For Bipolar Disorder "I recently started on Zyprexa Zydis due to some problems I am having with severe nausea and vomiting. I was scared at first because I have been on lithium for years and have no problems with it. So far (other than the drowsiness), I think this is great."

For Schizoaffective Disorder "I had a bad experience with Zyprexa. It made me very drowsy, and I gained a lot of weight. Maybe good for someone else. I did not find it helpful in my situation."
