Any positive experience please? I think it just makes me fat and stupid. It makes this reality "real", but I don't want to think it's real. It's just an illusion.

But t wants me to take it.

Zyprexa worked really well for me. It stopped the voices for the most part and it prevented psychosis. It was tough the first two weeks but after that it was fine. I only switched meds because of weight gain.

Zyprexa stopped any psychosis that I had. It also helped with my depression and anxiety. It's good to help you get to sleep also. I am diabetic already and zyprexa really messes with my blood sugar. I have also put on some weight and I need to come off of the zyprexa.

hi. the weight issues can be managed with metformin. I think the issues here are power and who decides what "treatment" should involve.

Maybe you need a new therapist? some of them are controlling and manipulative, just sayin'.
Thanks for this!
