I experienced some weight gain that I believe Olanzapine was responsible for. It also increased my appetite. But dieting/starving didn't seem to help it at all.
The strangest side effect I had from it, though, was Carpal Tunnel Syndrome! After I started taking the Zyprexa, I felt a tingling in my fingertips. My doctor convinced me that it was probably REAL Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (which was, actually, pretty likely.) It got so bad that I was wearing a wrist support at work.
Then I stopped the Zyprexa, and it all went away.
Bizarre.
