I am lucky to have an internist who does all these tests. Being on Nardil, I was expecting weight gain but I haven't gained any weight.

I think Zyprexa has two weight gain mechanisms. First of all, it makes you eat like a horse. Second it has the effect of making you gain even if you keep your diet under control. However, I was on Zyprexa for a couple of months and did not gain weight. When I overate, I threw up on purpose (I am a recovering bulimic and Zyprexa brought me back into full blown bulimia). So I didn't gain weight from overeating.

But I also didn't gain weight just from being on Zyprexa either. I guess it is different for different people.
