I know this was a message written a month ago but, I wanted to respond if anyone reads it. Zyprexa changes my life alot. I don't think about suicide all the time now and don't have depressing thoughts and anxiety anymore but, there is one bad side effect-Significant weight gain. It may be also because I am taking it with lithium also. I am now in the process of going to a psychopharmacologist for the first time in my life because I've gained 75lbs and can't stand it anymore and he is going to try changing me on different meds. I'll let you know what happens. Good luck to you. Oh also the new drug that's supposed to come out like zyprexa is called ziprasidone. I don't think it has been approved by the FDA yet but it should be soon and it say to be like zyprexa except no weight gain!!!!!!
