I've been feeling really depressed about the way I look and I've decided to go off Zyprexa. I've gained 40 pounds over the last 4 months and I blame Zyprexa. I think that if I can lose this extra weight I'll feel better about my self. I also joined a weight loss program that promises you'll lose 20 pounds in the first 6 weeks or your money back. It was $394 dollars which my husband was upset that I spent but I'm excited about the prospect of getting rid of these extra pounds. Just the idea that this might work is lifting my depression. The only thing I worry about is what's going to happen to my mental state without Zyprexa. I was taking it for psychosis and hallucinations. I don't really have a pdoc right now so I'll be doing this on my own. I've got prn Haldol if I need it. I don't think there is anything else I could take that is weight neutral. I really need to lose 100 pounds. I've got diabetes, degenerative disc disease and I've had 2 heart attacks and I'm only 48 so being fat is really detrimental to my health. Wish me success !
