I gained 80 pounds. But I'm also a binge eater.

If you stick to a diet & exercise plan you might not gain AS MUCH weight. The reason it makes you gain weight is that it makes you extremely hungry.

You could ask about Invega, that's what I'm on now and my doc says it's an antipsychotic that should be weight-neutral. There's also another new one that just came on the market, but I don't know the name.

But for me...Zyprexa literally saved my life. Just ruined my body, and made me almost diabetic.
