THE 30 LB WT. GAIN ON MY 4' 11'' BODY FRAME WAS NOT!!! I KNOW THAT ALOT OF YOU OUT THERE THINK IM CRAZY FOR QUITING A DRUG THAT WORKED FOR ME AND STARTING UP SOMETHING NEW ALL FOR VANITY. TRUST ME, IM NOT TOO PROUD OF IT EITHER. IF ANYONE HAS ANY INPUT ON THIS I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.

Dawne,

I am 5'1" and gained 30 lbs in a little over a month on Zyprexa. I told my doctor that this was, in my opinion, completely unacceptable. I am not a fat person, nor do I want to be. The way I felt about myself and my body during that time was almost as bad as the depression itself.

A drug that is designed to improve your mental state need not destroy your self image...or your sex life - but that's another topic. Some may think it's vain or shallow but I have to look in the mirror - and I want to like what I see. Besides, who wants to buy that new "fat" wardrobe? What a depressing shopping experience that is!!
