This "Dang" medicine is stimulating my hunger.%&%#Gosh!!! Can't win. Shoot! Is there any medicine out there that doesn't make you gain weight? There must be something. BF:frown:

HI,
I've heard that for some people it helps to take it before bed and before they get to chance to eat before bed.

Can you do something like that?

geodon is weight neutral

zyprexa
 

Hi

I've been on Zyprexa for a while. It has worked well for me and even helped my chronic pain. I gained about 8 pounds. I need to get my blood sugar checked one of these days though. It can cause diabetes. I swear if it's not one thing it's another with these meds. Good luck to you!

Med question
 

Brokenfriend, what was the issue with the Seroquel?

At one time or another, I feel I have been on every anti-depressant on the market. lol I can certainly give some advice for what works with me for certain symptoms. Of course, everybody responds differently, but the more info you have the better. (At least that's my theory)

With this zyprexa,I've gained 7 pounds in 2 weeks,which is on top of the poundage that I had gained on the Seroquel. I'm craving foods,and spicy foods. It doesn't matter what time of day,or night.

This medicine I can tell is going to be dangerous to me. I don't think that I have ever weighed that much.

It's not really helping,so I'm going to ask if they can try something else.

She said with Geodon,I'd have to take EKG tests I think. BF:hug::hug::hug: PS 7 pounds!!!in two weeks.:eek:
