In reply to Anyone NOT gain weight on ZYPREXA?, posted by Tangerine on September 10, 2001, at 11:29:54
Nope. 45 lbs increase in 10 months. But...my psych put me Topamax as a mood stabilizer about a month ago which he said should also help me lose weight. That along with the help of a dear friend who is assisting me with a new diet, I have managed to lose 5 lbs over the last week and half. I think good eating habits are really critical when taking Zyprexa, are you watching your diet closely? I wasn't. I'm a junk-food junkie :(
