What side effects have you noticed?

Maybe you all talked about this before but I'm rather new here and I want to know more about the side effects the pills cause since they don't write on the drug information things like:

"you might lose interest in anything that used to matter for you".

I'll start first :

(I took Zyprexa, 5 or 10 mg a day, for 4 years with some interruptions...)
Like I said I lost interest in everything that used to matter for me (reading, watching documentaries, trying to answer myself different questions about life and many others) and instead, in my free time I was EATING while watching TV.
I gained 10 kg (22lbs)


The others I'll tell you later..

Ruby-

Since I have declined medication, I'm not the best person to respond. However, I did know someone who took Zyprexa. She reported:

1) nausea to the extent of vomiting;

2) a loss of libido.

Glad you're off of it.

1500 mg valproic acid (Depakene/Stavzor) + 50 mg Seroquel resulted in:

* dizziness/drowsiness for the first few days, gone by now
* strange problem where I have somewhat blurry vision, but not all the time and not in all the situations -- not even sure this is med-related
* burping
* weight gain -- 3 kg in first two weeks. Because 15 kg on the antidepressant just wasn't enough!

Libido slightly down, but nothing unusual. Nausea -- rarely, but randomly. I can live with all of those really. But if they give me another antidepressant (I've been told to expect that) that causes weight gain, I'll go on hunger strike.

I found Zyprexa to be a lifesaver literally and it gave me no side effects at all. It didn't blunt my mood like risperdal tends to do. Unfortunately due to insurance reasons i am stuck with seroquel.

I am on lamotrigine, seroquel and bupropion (wellbutrin/Zyban) to treat my bipolar disorder. I get no side effects at all from lamotrigine but i get god awful night sweats and dry mouth for seroquel. Besides a slight stimulant effect wellbutrin hasn't given me any trouble and is much easier to take then most anti-depressants that's for sure.

Cracked

Just stopped Risperdal (was only taking it for the two week test period). I can't even remember the first day off of it. A coworker asked me something and I hadn't even known I worked that day. Very freaky memory loss
Busparone or whatever...extremely dizzy and shaky, like withdrawaly feeling. Anyone else get this?
Adderal family- racing, repetitive thoughts
