My old doc (I don't see my new doc until June 1st) gave me some samples of Zyprexa and I really like it. I have been taking 2.5mg at night with .5mg of Klonopin and 2.5mg during the day with .5mg of klonopin.
My concern is weight gain. I was wondering if I push up to 5mg of Zyprexa am and pm, will I be at risk for weight gain?
My old doc said to take the whole dose once a day.
If I take 5 mg or even a full 10mg at night, will I gain tons of weight?
Are there any meds I can take with Zyprexa to combat the weight gain or diabetes risk?
I'm already considered obese and I don't want to get fatter or get diabetes.
Any suggestions?
I hate to drop a med that FINALLY works! Of course it would be a med that can cause weight gain! Ugh.
