> Hello,
> I'm sorry, I know seems this is pretty obvious but I'm really not sure if it happens on everyone. I have to take 5mg but I'm terrified as I'm already overweight :(
> I'm not even sure if this medication is for me. I was on Zoloft (still on it) and now this new doctor gave me this and...I don't know, I'm desperate.....Paxil, Prozac, Zoloft...which should I take? is zyprexa really for me? am I going nuts? :( Some doctors are really rude and tragic...I don't think I'm going nuts but they sometimes make me feel like that. Oh well, I don't want to bother you with this...just wanted to ask you if I'm going to gain loads of weight for taking a package of 14 pills of zyprexa 5mg? I mean, I've read you gain a LOT and really FAST. I'm terrified, I don't want any new problem in my life :(

> Fernanda.-HI there Fernanda. GOODLuck with the Zyprexa. I would take 2.5 mgs of it, therefore lowering the risk of unusual weight gain
Its strong stuff!
You might do wonderfully at 2.5 and just keep an eye on the Scale haha!
