Zyprexa has been a wonder drug for three of my friends. All three have taken it for two years or more. They function very well on the medication. The one draw back is a slight weight gan of perhaps 10 pounds. If you exercise and eat fruits and veggies and low carbohydrates, you will be fine and won't gain any weight, but you have to stick to a diet and execise regimen daily. Congrats on taking the Zyprexa. You will soon feel better. YAY!!!
