I was prescribed Zyprexa 2.5mg Tablets (Olanzapine) for my bipolar disorder a few months ago, and while it's helped stabilize my mood, I've been experiencing some side effects that are a bit challenging to deal with. I'm curious to hear from others who are taking this medication. What side effects have you experienced, and how have you managed them? For those who have had good experiences how long did it take to feel better? What tips do you have for someone who is just starting out on this medication? Also, I'd love to hear from anyone who has insights into managing side effects like weight gain and increased appetite. I haven't experienced any of the more urgent side effects, but I'm always on the lookout for those as well. Thanks for sharing your stories and advice!
