Hi,

I'm on olanzapine for monotherapy and I have gained 5 pounds since starting on the meds. I previously took serotia and sodium valproate and have not had noticeable weight gain on them.

My question is, will the extra pounds go away with exercise or will I retain them for as long as I'm on olanzapine? Or should I ask my psych to change my meds for better long-term weight management?

Any advise would be much appreciated.
