I was taking 10mg for about 10 years. The weight went up and down. I started at 150 lbs, went up to 230 at my hight. Then went on diet and down to 170. Right now I'm about 210.
Taking a half, so I don't move too quickly, this is what doc said to do. I've had problems coming off zyprexa in the past. Where I went psychotic, couldn't eat or sleep. I tried all the other atypicals but seroquel. I read up on perphenazine and decided it may work because of sedation and good reports. So far so good, appatite is down, still get to sleep and not psychotic, racing thoughts and such.
I tried geodon, which did nothing for psychosis,, infact that is when I started hearing voices, I gained weight and got diabetes. I also started to drink more and have problems with sleep.
Zyprexa was realy good for me. Except for diabetes and weight. It also made it hard to get up in morning.
