Zyprexa (olanzapine) is an Eli Lilly & Co. product prescribed for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The company likes to say that it's been used by 20 million patients in 84 countries, but there are some indications that it's not for everyone.

There've been allegations the company glossed over side effects of the drug and some patients have complained the concoction did more harm than good.

I also took Zyprexa and it was a nightmare; gained alot of weight; sleepless nights among other side effects.

weight gain, sleepless nights, etc. It was a horrible drug.

I took Zyprexa and gained from about 120 pounds up to 180 and I also now from it and other drugs have Tardive Dyskinesia.

My tongue rolls around and won't stay still, my toes curl up and down, my fingers move, my ears ring, my legs are restless and i can't lie still at night. I twitch. I can't sleep unless I take something to make me sleep.
