Specializes in Urgent Care

Weakness & Zyprexa: I am so sorry you are not feeling well. Studies show that up to 20% of patients taking Zyprexa can experience the side effect of weakness. Also, weight gain, dizziness, hypotension, accidental injury. You are also on the maximum daily dose. Please ask psychiatry for a dose reduction. It may also be time to try a different medication. I hope you feel better. Please make decision with Psychiatry.
