I recently started taking Thyroid (armour) 0.5gr (30mg) Tabs for hypothyroidism.

I've been taking Zyprexa Zydis 15mg Tablets after being diagnosed with bipolar disorder. The medication has been a game-changer for managing my symptoms, and I can't deny the benefits of a medication that dissolves quickly in your mouth. However, the side effects have been quite noticeable. I've experienced significant weight gain and increased appetite, which has been challenging. I've also suffered from some dizziness, but it's nothing compared to the mental clarity I've gained. How have others coped with the side effects, or have any of you found a way to mitigate these issues? The doctor just keeps telling me to eat better and exercise more, but sometimes it's hard to deal with these sudden food cravings. I've also experienced some issues with sleeping, which is something I've been trying to figure out. It just makes the whole experience a bit annoying, but the benefits are more than worth it. Although, the side effects are still something I'm trying to adapt to. I'd love to hear from others who've had similar experiences with this medication. What changes and adjustments have you had to make to best deal with the meds?

I've heard it can also be used to help relax before or after surgery. Any thoughts on that? I'm curious to hear about other uses and side effects people might have encountered. Another thing I'm worried about is the rare but serious side effects. I'm not really sure what the signs to look for are. Does anyone know more about these? Has anyone had any serious reactions?

I want to share my experience and see if anyone else has had similar results. I've been feeling pretty drowsy during the day, which is a common side effect, but I've also had some strange skin reactions that have me a bit worried. Has anyone else experienced this?

Would love to hear any similar experiences or advice on how to manage these side effects. Thanks!
