In reply to Low dose Zyprexa and weight gain?, posted by sedona on August 8, 2004, at 1:20:14
Hi:
In my personal experience on Zyprexa, 2.5 mg. in the beginning(for one year) and the 5 mg. afterwards(about 2.5 years), ... I'm quite happy about this AP with a terrific result.In my case, the Zyprexa has worked for 'rapid cycler,' 'dysphoric manic/aggression(rageous form of manic) and all other Bp symptoms. It's an 'ALL-Purpose' AP for me. Further, the Zyprexa boosts 'AD/anti-depressant' and mood-stabilizer effect.
However, I started to gain 'weight' just recently after those past years without worrying about gaining any weight. Then, I attributed to the Zyprexa 5 mg. Or, I may get just to the 'age.' Truthfully, I have no clue to say which one ...., just my age or the Zyprexa.Either way, I try to ask my pdoc. 'Geodon' that is VERY similar to the Zyprexa except good-night sleep problem. For that, I'm pretty certain one of my AD combo. 'Trazodone' will take care of.
