My father is taking this medication. For anybody on it does it make your urine dark and stinky. (Good grief, I hate having to ask.) Is this normal or something to be concerned about. He's in his late 50's and quite frail. He also takes Ativan. Could it be the ativan? He says the zyprexa does it.

No, Zyprexa did not do this for me.. . .
Good luck,

I'm currently on Zyprexa and nope, I' not experiencing that (but I admire you for asking; you're a kind and concerned daughter!).
I should add that I drink quite a lot of water during the day, which makes me pee quite frequently and dilutes it so to speak.Your father's urine being "dark and stinky" could be a sign of DEHYDRATION (my little niece had dark orange urine from dehydration) or a side effect of medication. I'd suggest calling his doctor about it and seeing what the doc says. Good luck!
