I have been on Zyperxia for about 4 months. It increased my appetite somewhat, but nothing dramatic. Take care.

I’ve been on Zyprexa for about a year now, and haven’t noticed any weight gain. So maybe I’m one of the lucky ones. It’s worked well for me, after trying Risperdal which I didn’t like for side effects I don’t recall exactly what kind at the moment. I take 5mg of Zyprexa every night. Susan

Well, I really did not gain weight, I think, if anything I got stabilized on a certain weight. I rarely experience apetite (read: almost never), but I trie to eat at least twice a day (I don’t always succeed in this), but on 10mg of Zyprexa/day I was hungry all the time, even when my stomach was full, well I guess I gained about 2 kgs, but then I got depressed again (and lost about 6 kgs), I gained the most weight on paroxetine (paxil/seroxat) 8 kgs. But it always seems to be depending on my overall mood (when depressed like 59kgs-underweight-when `normal’, 68kgs, when hypo to manic about 61-65). Zyprexa did increase my apetite chronicly, that means, after 5 months of taking 10mgs every day, my apetite was still huge (yet I don’t seem to care about those feelings when depressed, so I still don’t eat much). Hope this was of any help… GreetinX X X Bas p.s: only quitting Zyprexa seemed to be the solution of feeling apetite…
