how to lose weight with olanzapine
This is why i stopped taking zyprexa; 15 pounds in two weeks for me my pdoc agreed that that was too much weight gain way too fast it took me literally years to finally be able to lose that weight the shame of it was that zyprexa worked well for my bipolar symptoms, but the weight gain was too much. Despite the fact that weight gain is a clear drawback associated with zyprexa, the drug is among the most effective for treating severe psychiatric conditions. did you gain weight while taking zyprexa? fortunately, most people that gain a lot of weight while medicated are able to lose it when the switch medications and/or discontinue.. You're so right the weight gain is miserable, it really is awful. i guess it's a small price to pay for staying well though & it helps to remember that it's temporary, not forever. i had similar weight gain to you, i was on olanzapine for a few weeks then changed to a different anti-psychotic +antidepressant & went from size 10 to a 14-16..
