In reply to Has anybody NOT gained weight on Zyprexa?, posted by angelrose on November 15, 2000, at 0:49:05
My experience with Zyprexa is that there definitely is some weight gain (up to 16 lbs average). I have seen some people gain as little as 10 lbs but I have also seen some people gain as much as 70 lbs.
Are you taking it for depression purposes or as an antipsychotic?My suggestion is to eat 3 average meals/day and do NOT snack before bed. The increased appetite, apparently is phenomenal.
Good luck.
