I did manage to lose the Zyprexa weight. I'd gained about 20 lbs. pretty much overnight, but what that drug did to my diabetes was far worse, so I had to come off of it. Which was a shame, because Z is both effective AND cheap. However, I'm on Geodon now and while it's expensive and not as effective, it does help and I haven't gained back any of the 40+ pounds I've lost since last fall. It's worth a try, anyway.
