Zyprexa that melts in your mouth

Not in your hand - unless you have sweaty palms.
My doc brought up this new way to take zyprexa. She said I might
actually lose a few pounds as it metabolizes differently than the pill
form. Has anyone heard about taking zyprexa this way? I would think
it would come in handy for catatonics.

God help us when they invent Zyprexa suppositories!

yes, it's called Zyprexa Zydis.

If you are in a psych ward and they give it to you, you can't trick
them and spit out the pill later, since it melts in your mouth.
Believe me, I tried it, and failed.

I constantly feel tired from taking zyprexa (10mg). once a day. They
did warn me about this but that was five years ago and I thought it
would get better. I have a kip in the afternoon too and then go for a
run. Hopefully they will reduce my medication even further sometime
soon.

Hi Erik,

You might give it a try, find out if he is right.

I didn't gain weight from 3 months of Zyprexa now, but
I read that almost 90% of all people taking Zyprexa gain weight
so I guess I shouldn't cheer to early and wait for two years
and then look back.

But for the rest, Zyprexa is far superior in treating the positives
than other medication I tried, but I have some negative symptoms
that I didn't have with other medication, so they must be caused
by Zyprexa.

Zydis, yeah that's what its called. Did you only take it in the
hospital?
I doubt I'll take it as my doc put it "lose a few pounds". I need to
lose at least 20lbs to see a difference.

The weight sneaks up on you. Perhaps you'll be the lucky 10% like
Berty mentioned.

I allready maintained a weight of 115kg for several years, perhaps that´s
why i don´t gain any weight anymore.

No, I took it for a few months after I left the hospital. The doctor
gave me samples of it. It's basically the same as regular Zyprexa,
except it digests more quickly than the regular pill. Now I take the
regular pill.

They also have an injection Zyprexa now.

I bet they all have the same change to weight gain or people would all
be on the dissolving one or injection. I am so against excercise.
Swimming isn't so bad though. I might get a membership at the Y soon.

That's my weight. I did weigh under 62kg.

I weighed 77 kg before I started taking zyprexa and then after a short
while I shot up to 110kg. Luckily I am tall so it doesnt look as bad
as it could. I am now jogging every day so my weight is 96kg and
hopefully it will fall more.

My normal weight is 85 kg on a height of 185cm. I also weighed 75 kg when i
returned from america where i ran out of money and so had nothing to eat.

Just after midnight, they are bringing me my pills
Just after midnight, lights are out...at Black Hill
But they don't know me...they don't know me at all
Tonight pills will be chills will be kills

Waiting in the dark, I cannot take another night
Waiting in the dark, I cannot take it anymore

If I don't take my medication, they will all be here
But I think I fooled them, I think...I'm in the clear
"Nursie" doesn't know...this is her last night
She even brought the key, that's gonna set me free

Waiting in the dark, I cannot take another night
Waiting in the dark, I cannot take it anymore

Tonight I'm taking her instead
My hands are so much stronger
Than her isty-bitsy little head

Empty eyes are staring at the wall
I cannot hear her breathing anymore.

I'm looking for the key in her hand
That bluish little hand

Running through the empty halls of this forgotten place
Unlocking doors...that never opens
But now I've got the key...the key to freedom
And I'm unlocking doors that never should be opened

Waiting in the dark, I cannot take another night
Waiting in the dark, I cannot take it anymore

6,6,6 miles...I've been running through the woods
6,6,6 miles...and now before me, the cemetery gates

I climb the gate between life and death
I walk upon the moolit graves
I'm home
