I have not been on zyprexa but I am on seroquel, an AP added to 2 ADs, remeron and pristiq. I also take provigil which is a non-amphetamine stimulant. Both remeron and seroquel are supposed to make you gain weight. I have seen tons of posts about people's weight gains. I have not gained any weight on either the remeron or the seroquel. What I do find with the seroquel is that it messes up my appestat (sp?) Meaning that once I start eating, I have no sense of satiety or fullness. Most of the time. What I do is have liquid meals during the day and eat tons, and I mean tons, of veggies at dinner.
I don't know how the zyprexa will effect your appetite but I think if you are feeling awful it's an agumentation stategy that makes sense. You know how it is, there's really no way to find out how it will effect you without giving it a go.
My advise would be to try it. A lot of people gain weight on it but not everyone does.Zana
