I was on zyprexa for 18 mo. and in that amount of time, I gained 160 lbs! I have since, lost 70 lbs. but it has taken a long time, and a lot of hard work to lose that much. I'm still trying to lose the other 90. Get off of it as soon as you can! I take Risperdal now, and it does not cause near as much weight gain as zyprexa. To be honest, everyone I have spoken to that took zyprexa did not gain less than 65 lbs. and that was only 1 person! Most people I talked to gained at least 90 lbs.! The medicine works really well, but that side effect is atrocious!
