Zyprexa does affect both appetite and metabolism.
A couple of recent studies have shown that Axid A.C can lessen the risk of weight gain, as it binds to the H2 receptors, Glucophage a medication for Type 2 diabetes, also has been thought to work, and some Dr's are prescribing it to prevent Zyprexa weight gain, or to help patients lose the weight.I recently started Zyprexa and after many years and many medications I'd have to say its been a miracle for me. I'm only taking a small dose, but I refuse to take risks with my weight.
I managed to get my Dr to prescribe Glucophage for me and I will let you know if it works.Also I will try and find the links to the studies
or you can just Google with Zyprexa and Glucophage in the search, and the article is in the top 3 results I think.Good luck.
