In reply to Low dose Zyprexa and weight gain?, posted by sedona on August 8, 2004, at 1:20:14
> I started taking 2.5 mg of Zyprexa two days ago and feel good(lack of irritability and anxiety). However, I gained weight when I tried Prozac and Lexapro and do not want to gain more. I am wondering if a small dose of Zyprexa like 2.5 mg or even 5 mg would be low enough to avoid the weight gain that it so notorious for? I know everyone reacts to medications in different ways, but any input would be much appreciated.

> Thank youI am taking a low dose of Zyprexa, and I've gained a few pounds, but I'm not certain it's due to the drug. The Z really helps keep my anxiety under control, so the weight gain is a small price to pay. I'd feel differently if I gained more than 10 lb, though.
