In reply to zyprexa - love/hate, posted by ricker on December 6, 2008, at 11:29:38

My pdoc tried adderall w/the zyrprexa...seems to work for appetite control, but I'm afraid I may be getting a crash from the adderall that worsens my depression. Porky Pig is right, though! I gained 25 lbs (after I had lost 15 and down to my normal weight after giving birth to twins...grrr!)...it just makes you want to eat and eat and eat! Especially fried foods and whatever is bad for you! I've been going off and on the zyprexa...it causes some extrapyramidal effects like twitching that of course I don't like the looks of...but I haven't been having the calorie cravings like before...not sure that going on and off is good, and I think it isn't as effective these days...I only take 2.5 mg. Let me know how it is going, and are you taking anything else? I will ask my pdoc what the other drug she suggested taking to combat the zyprexa appetite problem.
