> From what I have read up and experienced on Zyprexa, a certain amount of weight gain is inescapable -- regardless of diet or exercise.
> Ofcourse it is made worse by the pronounced stimulation of appetite.

> I believe weight gain (even small amounts) on Zyprexa is due to the slowing down of catabolic enzymes, which "chop" up all those polysaccharides.

> My qstn is this....Can one have appetite stimulation on Seroquel, without a concomitant gain in weight. In other words, do the catabolic enzymes work at their normal speed, in spite of a (possible) appetite stimulation?
