Hi:
I just wonder how long you've been on this med., Zyprexa. At the beginning of Zyprexa, my experience was sleepiness/sedating effect. Even, 2.5mg made me SO sleepy. BTW, my side effect from different psycho. meds., is I always sleepy. Then, no surprise.
Back to your question, ... 'stiffness' in the joint, ... I never had, nor heard either. However, I feel the stiffness in the joints is something like 'arthritis?' Some people experience 'neurological problem' such as involuntary jerking and strange muscle spasm. Then, it might NOT be from Zyprexa. If does, probably it's due to interaction with other meds. you've been on. Lithium causes 'hand tremor' along with other annoying side-effects at the start of Lithium. Gradually, all diminishes, or at least lessen its side-effect.
Either way, it's precautious for you to call the pdoc. whenever unpredictable episodes occur.
H.G.
