yes, for sure, there are many different withdrawal effects, including diarrhea.

I gained an awful lot of weight, which is a shame because it really helped with my mental health problems.  I have recently been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and my Doc said I should come off Zyprexa as it is not good for people with diabetes.
