"been on zyprexa 7.5 due to bipolar for about 8 months or so. it takes the edge off my anxiety and makes me calmer. i get very sleepy about 3 hours after taking it, so now i take it at about 7pm. without it i had trouble sleeping as my mind would race and not shut up at night. don&#039;t really know if it has affected my appetite or weight, if so just a little.
a couple of times i thought that i felt so good that i didn&#039;t need to take it anymore so stopped taking it. and within a week or so the bad feelings would come back.
looks like i might be on it for the long term."
