I've been on Zyprexa for about 10 months and have gained about 45lbs. My doc recently started me on Topamax and says that it may help me to lose some weight, we'll see. I'm sure exercise and a better diet wouldn't hurt me either.

DOn't know whether it's due to the Axid or just time. He has been on zyprexa now for 9 months.
