Have you checked your blood sugar? Zyprexa is known to raise blood sugar. One of the side-effects of diabetes(high blood sugar) is damage to nerve endings, and lose of sensation. You could take a medication to lower the blood sugar, I take Metformin, works best for me. I never had blood sugars high enough to make my hands numb, but it is definitly higher when I take a higher dose of zyprexa. The problem with nerve damage is it may not go away. So you definitly want that in check.
