I've been on Zyprexa 10mg for about 6 months now to manage my bipolar disorder, and it's been a rollercoaster. Initially, it helped stabilize my moods, but I've gained quite a bit of weight and feel constantly tired. Has anyone else experienced similar side effects? I'm considering talking to my doctor about adjusting the dosage. I've also heard about some serious side effects like high blood sugar and movement issues. Has anyone dealt with those? I'm really worried. On the plus side, my hallucinations have significantly reduced – it's not all bad.
