I've been on Zyprexa.
One of the side effects can be a feeling of unsettleness.

I'd call your Pharmacy, or your Pdoc.

Keep them in the loop on how you are feeling.

Sorry you're feeling that way! I've never tried that particular med but I know the feeling of wanting to crawl out of my skin. Maybe give your pdoc a call and see if that's a normal side effect? Good luck!

Read and noted...don't remember zyprexa...only that I took it once. I do remember the unsettled feeling... the oh, no, why is everything just crazy right now? feeling...I hope it leaves you soon. Hang in there and see if you can get the dose lowered or if it is a side effect that wears off...

I'm sure it's probably the medicine.

I've never been on it but I know people who have been and they were very jittery to the point of not being able to stand it and having to get off of it.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
