I've actually lost almost 90 lbs. while on Zyprexa. It doesn't have to put weight on; you just need to watch your portions and drink a lot of water as opposed to soda and other sweet drinks. I know it can be hard, especially when your appetite increases because of the AP. But it doesn't have to be a disaster.
