I was taking 5MG of Zyprexa and I gained 20 pounds in two weeks on Zyprexa. I also have Metabolic Syndrome because of it. Best of all the NP didn’t take me off the stupid med, I had to beg a different doctor to take me off the stupid medication. It’s not being overweight that caused it, it’s the damage from the meds that cause elevated Triglycerides, horrible HDL, weight, high blood pressure, and it leads to heart diesease, diabetes, and a whole bunch of other things.
