zyprexa made me have seizures and tremors. I cant take it. I also slept for 26 hours the first day I took it.

rainy they put me on a dose that i could barely function anymore on a daily basis.
i got a 2nd opinion and quit cold turkey.
now i'm fine.
i wasn't even thinking anymore.
i coud barely do my normal routine!!!!
i also had partial seizures when i woke up i'd feel my stomache sink in like a pit uncontrollably and i had severe tremors.
what a nitemare.
just over medicated.
the depakote didn't do this but i was taking that for anxiety and depression.
thanks for your input.

I was on Zyprexa for about 4 months, i hated it. It made me feel like i had arthritus, i never wanted to get out of bed and slept for up to 22 hours at a time. I started taking Zyprexa while i was in the hospital for an Adjustment Disorder and started to hear running water. It really scared me. When the doctor put me on it he said that it was a sleeping pill. I later found out that it was an antiphysocitic.
