Just started Zyprexa Zydis 5mg - Has anyone else experienced significant side effects?

I'm new to Zyprexa Zydis 5mg. Has anyone else experienced significant side effects? I've heard stories about weight gain and dizziness, but how common are they? I'm particularly worried about the long-term effects and would appreciate advice from those who have been on it for a while. How is everyone managing the side effects?

I’ve been on Zyprexa for a while and the only side effect I’ve had is some dizziness, but nothing major. I actually found it so easy to take, better than the normal pills.

I’ve been on Zyprexa for about a year now. The weight gain was a big deal at first, but I’ve managed it with a strict diet and exercise. Good luck!

The docs advised me to start at 2.5mg and gradually increase it. That helped with the side effects. Maybe try that if you’re struggling?

I’ve heard that some people experience mood swings and sleepiness. Maybe it’s worth keeping a journal to track any changes you notice?

I’ve been on it for a few months and haven’t noticed any severe side effects. Just a bit of drowsiness, but nothing that couldn’t be managed with a nap. Stay positive!

I think everyone’s body responds differently to medication. Give it a few weeks and see how you feel. And yeah, definitely consult your doctor.

I’ve had a few chilling side effects like seizure like symptoms , I should probably consult my doctor but I don’t want to lose my meds and go back into the hospital. Any advice?
