Zyprexa Weight Loss Stories

I seem to be having some difficulties losing some zyprexa weight. the first time I was on 40mg for about 6 months and when I stopped, 50lbs went away in 2-3 months just purely coming off the medication, no diet and no exercise. most recently I was on for about 3 months on 5mg. I gained about 20-25lbs. I have been off for almost 6 weeks and I only lost about 5 pounds. it seems like the scale stops there. any insight on why this can be besides the feared metabolic dysfunction that zyprexa is known to cause? I would love to hear stories and experiences about the weight loss process you all went through with this drug. Thanks.

Hello, Nathan! How are you?

Have you tried adjusting your diet and getting more exercise this time?

As we age, our metabolism tends to naturally slow down, so you may need to give it an added boost to lose the weight, now.

Other side effects to Zyprexa, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, somnolence and dry mouth.
