An hour or two after taking one (blue) Zyprexa pill... I feel weak.
Is it healthy and what is going on?

Call your doctor and let him or her know what is up. Eli Lilly is the research and developer of this drug I would go to their website and look. Not to scare anyone but this company has had a lawsuit on its hands about this drug. In my humble opinion after working on a R&D site for 3 yrs. as a contractor they are just too uneasy to get drugs out before their counterparts get a patent on it. If you put in Zyprexa or eli lilly in the search bar you will see the lawsuit they are handling at the moment don't know if it pertains to you. Hang in there. I hope this helps. Warmest regards.

zyprexa is an anti-depressant medication and is given by your Dr. for many other medical conditions. this dose may be too strong for you depending on alot of factors you need to make an appointment A.S.A.P. WITH THE PRESCRIBING DOCTOR. this could be a side-effect that is minor that could go away over time as the body regulates to the med. or a SERIOUS SIDE EFFECT and you need to been seen right away! DONT wait or drive any cars or dangerous equipt., call the DR. and the Pharmacy to get list of common side effects. I do not know if you have heard about the commercials on T.V. about this medication but it is something to look into please I ask you being in Medical Management for over 10 years do not wait. I hope you take this advise and Go to theJAMA- journal of american medical assoc. for ref., to help or their is a book out called "The Little Pill Book." this book has alot of med.'s and side-effects to poss. help you!

That is a common side effect of that drug.
You need to tell your doctor so he can switch you over to another medication that will be more agreeable to you.
At the moment it is not life threatening but weakness CAN be a sign of being hard on your liver. That IS serious.
Make an appointment with your doctor and tell him. He'll want to know this so he can treat you better.
This is very common and there are plenty of alternatives out there.
Hang in there sweetheart. You'll be fine.
But call your doctor.
