Remeron, Zyprexa and weight gain:

Posted by Janelle on March 22, 2002, at 2:32:30

What is the mechanism by which Remeron and Zyprexa cause weight gain? Is it that they stimulate appetite, so you're more hungry, you then eat more and thereby gain weight, or is it that they slow down your metabolism so even if you do NOT eat more you still gain weight?
Actually, I have experience with Zyprexa and for me it was a case of appetite increase - I was hungrier but I resisted the cravings and munchies and didn't gain any weight. Luckily, the increased appetite side effect wore off fairly soon.
Thanks to whoever can explain why/how Remeron, Zyprexa and who knows what other meds, can cause weight gain.
