In reply to Zyprexa - Reluctant to Take, posted by jerseygal1 on June 27, 2011, at 9:36:23
I haven't read all the posts on this thread but will offer my input...it's not good.
I know zyprexa helps many people and it helped me for a while. then i looked in the mirror while i was trying desperately to button my jeans, couldn't do it.
on a more serious note, my pdoc believes that zyprexa gave me neurologic malignant syndrome. i was in the hospital for 6 days with rapidly spiking fevers. the doctor(and 5 interns!) ran every test known to man.
I had bags of antibiotics on the tree but nothing helped. finally, he asked when i started zyprexa. i don't remember now.
suddenly they took me off all that stuff.
i was better and called a friend to pick me up. 20 minutes later i called him back and my fever shot up to 103.5. the nurse said we've got you for another night.
it's rare and i don't think a decision should be made based on this post. just sharing my experience,
