Hi I am new this website. Hope someone can help me. I was diagnosed with Bipolar a year ago and took many medications (Effexor, Risperdal, Seroquel, etc.) to control it but they never seemed to work. Two days ago my psychiatrist put me on Zyprexa 2.5mg to help with my concentration. I feel no different on the Zyprexa (many people say it works fast), so I was wondering if anyone knew how long it takes to start working? Also, does anyone have any feedback about this med? Pro's only, no Con's (I know it is a weight gainer). I just want to get my life back! Thanks.

Hi, Armand! Sorry about the difficulties you've been having.

These types of medications do tend to have some effect immediately, but generally take about 4 to 6 weeks to reach their full level of efficacy in the body.

You can usually tell, because that will be around the same time that any side effects you're experiencing, such as nausea, dizziness, sedation and constipation will have hit their peak and started to taper off in severity.

Learn more Zyprexa details here.

Thus, you do need to give it some time to see if it will be effective for you, or not.

Is there anything else I can help with?
