Hi:
I've been on 5mg. Zyprexa for about two or three years, ... but so far 'NO WEIGHT GAIN.'
Just at the beginning of rx this med., I was so sleepy, ... practically most of the days I spent in the bed or on the couch in the living room without watching TV. But, after two or three weeks passed by, this sedative effect gradually disappeared.
I personally LOVE this med. more than anything else in the world. This med. made me back to the 'old myself' to get me stabilized. Then, I owe to Zyprexa on my happiness and stabilization of my Bp VERY HEAVILY.
BTW, it seems I'm in nature not get 'fat' except my baby-years(from born to about 2 year' old). Then, the metabolism, either body fat or your system might have some clue to whether gain weight or not. All of my side effects from psycho-meds. are mostly sleepiness, ... not more serious one to recall.
H.G.
