I put on weight with zyprexa. When I started zyprexa in 98, I was 150 lbs, 5'10". Yes very light, so it was a good side-effect in the beginning. Now I'm 200 lbs. My ideal would be 170-180. I got diabetes 2 years ago. When I weighed 185, was drinking 3 vodcas a day (1.5 oz) and eating high fat foods, and, taking geodon at a high dose, zyprexa at a much lower dose that usual. I did notice that at higher doses of zyprexa the diabetes was more out of control, like when I took 20mg instead of 10mg. The abilify was very good at lowering the blood sugars so much that I was eating all the time. Curently I drink 2 vodcas a day, 10mg zyprexa and none of the other meds. Diabetes is easy to control with a little medicine.
Abilify gave me panic attacks, anxiety, dizzyness and fear of the out side world. Thought that people were talking to me through the walls of appartment all the time, and I could not sleep at all. Stayed awake latter and latter every night till I was up at 12pm next day. So tired at work all day that I could not work and constantly thought people were talking about me.
