I was on both Zyprexa and Zydis eight years ago, and I gained SO MUCH weight. I went from 135 to 199! (I’m 5’10”.) All in a few short months. It was the strangest thing. It wasn’t even registering to me that I was gaining weight! I’m not sure how I possibly didn’t notice, but I was in a very dark place.

I should mention that I was also on many additional medications at that time. I’m sure, however, the Zyprexa and/or the Zydis was the biggest contributor to my weight gain.
