"This medication made my eyes hurt for some reason, and it just now went away 13 years later. To each their own. There actually wasn't too much else wrong with it. I slept well and stuff except I gained 20 lbs per month I would walk to the grocery store and purchase fruit from the local grocer and eat 40 dollars worth of food in one night because I was so ravenous. This med sucks if its your first med because after you see yourself gain so much so quickly, you distrust all the subsequent medications that are available. I absolutely had to have money for food if you take this, the cravings were like pot munchies on steroids after ran out of food it was like I wanted to punch the freakin door to the refridgerator because I couldn't afford more food. I will say though It wasn't making me crave greasy foods they were mostly healthy like blueberries but I still gained 20 lbs I had to get off it"

"I am not schizophrenic but I do deal with psychosis due to BPD. This drug really helped with my psychosis but it made me really depressed. I’m crying every day, I tried to switch to another medication and the withdrawal was so bad that I had to go back. I’m hoping I can switch it to something like Abilify."

"15mg of Zyprexa made me cry uncontrollably and it dulled my emotions with drowsiness. I don't know if I should continue with this because it's done more harm than good."
