hello, I am new to this board and new to Zyprexa. I have been taking 5 mg. for 2 weeks now and it has helped tremendously to get me from a state of wanting to go into the hospital, to doing pretty well. For the record, I am bi-polar and am taking the Zyprexa with a bevvy of other meds. So far, I have really noticed the increase in appetite - I could eat my computer desk. My memory has also become shot. But I am concerned about the extrapyramidal side effects. For Zyprexa users, what should I look out for with extrapyramidal side effects. I remember my aunt who couldn't stop wiggling her tongue in her mouth. And do you get these side effects right away, or is it only after a few months of use
Thanks for your help
