> What does zyprexa feel like. What kind of mood does it create. Did you gain weight on it?
I get very anxious when stating any new med! My p/doc gave me a sample pack of zyprexa zydis 5mg and I took one that night. Within 30-40 minutes I felt this sense of calm, peace and tranquility that I have not felt in 20 years!!! I gently drifted off to sleep and woke the next morning with a positive outlook. As I continued to take it on a nightly basis, the serene feeling dissipated somewhat. It is however, a drug that I will never not have in my medicine cabinet! It is the best crisis med IMO and works extremely fast for both, depression and anxiety.
Yes, I have gained weight with it, although I believe the same can be said for most of the atypicals? It may not be the best for maintenance although I would bet many people take it on a regular basis.
