Re: Has anybody NOT gained weight on Zyprexa?

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.
