I was on zyprexa for 8 years, along with prozac. I had no problems from it.
In the later years I did have some had trembling and stuff like that which is common to ADs and APs, and much of it was uncontrollable, so I figured that could maybe have been from zyprexa. But there had been so many other meds, almost all of them actually, so zyprexa was only one in a large crowd. Seroquel or abilify or amisulpride could have done the same thing. But as it turned out, a few years later, most of the fine tremors are almost gone. It wasn't the drugs after all.
It had been lyme disease the whole time. Anitbiotics fixed pretty much all the psychiatric symptoms by about 90%.
Despite the risks of zyprexa, which I believe are overblown, my opinion is that it is one of the few best meds in the whole psychiatric world.
