Hi,,,,,hoping everyone is doing the best they are able right now. I have a med question please. I was just recently put on Zyprexa. When I read the details about this med it scares me to be perfectly honest. I also am on Remeron and Lorazepam though he plans to switch my Remeron to something else. Is there anyone who has had any experience with Zyprexa,,,did it help what it was prescribed to you for ? I am seeing my psych doc again 2morrow so I think I'm going to ask him why he gave me something like this,,,,,kinda worries me for what he might answer with. Hard when you want to decrease and stop taking meds and your doctor ups the dosage and changes you to something else,,,,*sigh* Anyway,,,,,thanks for reading this,,,,,Abby

Hi Abby,
Hi Abby!
I've been on Zyprexa and I know others who have too. I have severe Bipolar Disorder and cycle rapidly. Its an anti-psychotic medication and is used for many things. I take a/p's for intrusive (suicidal) thoughts, and to help control mood.
Its also widely rx'ed for Shizophrenia and Shizo=Affective Disorder.
I've had hallucinations, and delusions, when I am VERY VERY manic and this class of drug helps a lot.
Let me know if you want to talk about it further.
Hugs and Love,
Keli
