At least I wouldn't get startled, and there was no room for any intrusive thoughts.
According to my sister, the sedation and most side effects comes only on the first few weeks on an anti-psychotic. Weight gain, low-libido and increase in prolactin are prolonged side-effects.

Thanks, i'm not sure, i was on a high dose of risperdal for about a year and i felt numb all the time, for me it was actually a prolonged side effect, and i still have it to some extant even after i'm done with the pill, i hope that it won't be the same on zyprexa.
Yes the low-libido was a prolonged side effect, it's only getting better now when i stopped taking the pill, **** i hope i won't have it again with the zyprexa, the numbness and the low sex drive was terrible.
