Hi:
I've been on 5 mg. Zyprexa along with other meds. for my Bipolar quite a while now.
In my personal experience, this med. is VERY good med. for my rapid-cycler and rage/anger part of my Bp symptoms. At the beginning, I felt a bit 'zombi' feeling even with just 2.5 mg., but went away after one or two weeks later. Six months later, I went 5 mg. Zyprexa and on this ever since.
For me, I have no complain about Zyprexa, so to speak, 'side-effect/adverse effect,' however this med. Zyprexa is notorious for 'Weight Gain' that I don't have. Everyone reacts differently on different med., then there are a lot of 'quizzes' to ask, ... but you need to be 'positive' on this med., Zyprexa because I believe you need some form of atypical med. for your condition.
Good Luck!!!
