> Anyone take zyprexa, not gain weight, and had an increase in blood sugar?
I gained weight during the first 3 months. After about a year it just dropped all by itself back to baseline. I am not overweight.
Blood sugar. Hmmm. That's a weird one. My blood tests have always come back fine. But, when I get up in the morning I am shakey and jittery all over, especially my fingers and thumbs. I noticed if I only sleep 5 hours it doesn't happen. If I sleep 8 hours its bad. I theorized that maybe my body was going too long without food and my reaction to it was very abnormal. So I did a test. I put a granola bar next to my bed. I woke at 3 a.m., took a couple bites, and went back to sleep. When I woke up a couple hours later, the jitteriness was very slight compared to what it usually is. Not sure what to think of that. I just did this test the other night and need to follow up on it.
After 10 years on 5mg zypexa, I think I do have some kind of weird glucose related problem.
