In reply to Zyprexa - Two questions, posted by RetiredYoung on June 28, 2005, at 11:24:53
Hello. I was on zyprexa for a long time. I was upto 20mg and it made me gain weight. However, 5mg was the same in terms of weight gain so I dont really think its that much to do with the dosage. Are you gaining weight on 5mg?
I dont know if it increases the risks of the other stuff you mention. And we dont have the disolvable form in Australia, so I am not aware of that one.Take care
Chris :)
