As others have shared, Zyprexa caused me to gain about 50 pounds in 6 months due to excessive appetite, especially before bed. At that time I was also on Seroquel, which probably contributed to the weight gain as well. I'm now on Abilify, which is a weight neutral AP. I still haven't lost the weight I gained, but that's largely my fault, as it's hard to get motivated to get out to exercise in the winter cold...I need to kick up my motivation come spring.
Good luck keeping your weight down (you've gotten good advice from others). Rossiv46, I'm glad the Zyprexa is treating your symptoms well.
