I am hoping he loses the weight, Sometimes I actually wonder if it was the depakote for him or the 2 combined, He didnt seem to have much weight gain on a low dose of zyprexa with his paxil and trileptal, but when he started the depakote (low dose) with the zyprexa the weight gain just came and came quick. He leveled out after the first 3 months really. I hope he doesnt gain anymore, but he is still hungry and even with 100mg of topamax a day. He definately lost some puffiness when he stopped the zyprexa so I fear that might come back. If he stays stable at this weight he might be ok although I want him to lose, he will probably have a hugh growth spurt in height that will even him out.
> I think I am right when I say this, the zyprexa does not directly cause diabities, its the weight gain from eating. I watched my cholesterol go up and got warned of diabities. Lost the wieght and cholesterol went back to normal, taking the same dose.
