hey! Apparently, nobody knows just what it is that causes the zyprexa weight gain. My old psychiatrist claimed it was appetite increase, but I gained weight steadily while reducing my intake. Seroquel was hellish for me and I lost a little weight, but I imagine in this regard it'd be like any other appetite-stimulating drug; if you eat more than you use, in terms of calories, you'll eventually gain weight. If this proves problematic, some docs will co-prescribe a weight loss agent such as Meridia when deemed appropriate, but I think this is much more common with zyprexa patients (and still not at all that common). Good luck!
