After a nightmare effexor weight gain, I finally started getting my weight under control (no more weight gain and slowly started coming off) and then I started on Zyprexa... I am hungry ALL the time.. I wake up in the night famished.. its a total nightmare... theres only so many carrots you can eat before going orange, I swear!!!

Luckily the gym I am a member of (haven;t visisted for 6 months as it was next to work) is opening a branch near my flat - Just dying for it to open so I can start going...

> Despite a boringly healthy diet, of all whole foods, and the same exercise as before, I gained more than 60lbs with Zyprexa. And wanted so much to stay on it, I *combed* the web. . and found nothing. Not a thing. Except plaintive cries; I'm 50 lbs heavier, I've gained 80. Everywhere, it was women who said it was, like me, the best med they'd ever been on -- and the weight gain was killing them.
