Hi Mary. Actually now that you mention, nobody has ever asked me about my zyprexa weight gain. It was minimal. I went from 138 to 145 and then it settled back to 140 on its own a few months later.
After weaning off it though, yikes. I went from 142 to 129 in a month. Scary. Went back on 2.5mg just to save my life. That was a month ago. Since then I have gone from 129 to 134, so weight gain really hasn't been much of a factor for me. I am still significantly underweight.
Liver tests and glucose fasting tests have always been fine over the 6 years with zyprexa.
> Blueberry, You've probably already answered this 100 times, but can you tell me about what has happened with you in terms of Weight gain over these years you have beenon Zyprexa???? Do you take anything to combat it? Are your liver panels always good?
> thank you!
