I started taking 5mg zyprexa 4 days ago--took my 4th dose tonight. I have doing okay since I started it. Tonight, about 20 min after taking dose, I am having severe edema both legs. I don't know if it is coincidental and there might be something else going on or if it is related to the zyprexa but a delayed reaction. I did a search on zyprexa and edema, and it is a rare side effect. I can't imagine this would happen at this point as a result of the zyprexa. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know ASAP as I'm worried about it. Thank you!
