So weight gain is noticeable on high dosages? What would be the minimum starting dosage where weight gain starts to be noticed? Could be 5mg? If for whatever reason psychiatrist will try to prescribe me more of it, I will at least ask to go down to 2.5mg. But I would rather try Viepax or Seroquel. These 2 meds were also last meds in 2012 I was on before I quit them as I started feeling better.

I took it back in 2012 when I started feeling better before I quit medications. That was former psychiatrist. The current psychiatrist prescribed it to me because I think he saw in records that one of my last medications was Zyprexa. Strange logic. Maybe he didn't want to reinvent the wheel?
