Hey all,
I'm thinking about trying low-dose Zyprexa for a cluster of symptoms that it might benefit. I know weight gain can be a huge issue with this drug. I feel like I could probably handle maybe 10 pounds (I'm 175), but not much more than that. I'm also willing to work out more to compensate for an appetite or metabolism effect.
What I'd like to know if anyone has had success with Zyprexa in the range of 2.5-5 mg/day and *not* gained a tremendous amount of weight. If so, was this because you took countermeasures, or were appetite and metabolism issues not present for you?
(It would also be helpful if you could mention your reason for going on the drug...)
Thanks in advance,
