I'm amazed at how little compulsion I have to overeat now that I've been off Zyprexa for a few weeks. As a result, I've lost 14 lbs. without really trying to diet, although I'm not sitting around eating candy or doughnuts either. I miss the great sleep I used to get when I was on Z, but it's nice not to be so hungry I could eat the sofa. Blood sugars have also come down quite a way---no more 180s and 200s, now they're in the 120-150 range. All of this is great!!! Now, if I could just SLEEP through the night.........
