In reply to Zyprexa / weight gain low doses, posted by Sara Beth on August 25, 2003, at 15:47:26
Hi Sara Beth
I was on Zyprexa 2.5 for anxiety, and it was
great for me, I thought I'd finally found my
miracle. It made me gain weight though, and quickly! There was no way I was going to stay on it if that continued.
I had my Dr. prescribe Topamax, (I had to be very persistant and bring him many web articles) as Silmarilone suggested, and it works for me fairly well as a mood stabilizer. And I've lost a LOT of weight. I can still use the zyprexa as a P.R.N if I'm really having a terrible time.Good luck.
