I'm skinny too. Doesn't matter what I eat or how much. But for a while I took Zyprexa. I was shocked. For the first time in my life I gained weight. I mean like 10 pounds in two weeks. For me that was just totally unbelievable. I couldn't gain weight to save my life. That is, until Zyprexa.
I don't take it any more and have lost all I gained without even trying. But hey, if you want weight, Zyprexa has my vote.
Remeron also can have considerable weight gain associated with it. But I've been taking Remeron for almost two years now and have had no weight gain.
Either of these would be good for anxiety too. But Zyprexa was the real powerhorse for gaining weight with me.
