He was wrong. I've lost 15 lbs and hope to lose more. He was an actual psychiatrist and my new Dr is a psych nurse. But she's better and younger and really knows her stuff. I'm also on Invega now with no side effects. Soon I'll get off that last 2.5 mgs of zyprexa.

If you're not happy, find someone new....
yes zyprexa causes weight gain and is useful in emergency situations as needed, not for maintenance med.
IMO
