In reply to CLOZAPINE WEIGHT GAIN - so fed up, posted by pretty_paints on February 3, 2006, at 5:54:11
Hi K!
Nice to hear from you :) :) :) How are you doing apart from the weight gain
How is the clozapine working? Does your doc think it has been any more effective for you than quetiapine? The side effects certainly seem to be worse than quetiapine.
>My doc says she wants to increase my Clozapine, but is worried as it will increase my weight even more.
Why does your doc want to increase the dose?
>Is there any way to fight it??
Your doctor could prescribe orlistat (Xenical) 120mg three times a day. It might help you loose some weight.
