I've not gained lots of weight and what I did gain I was able to lose.

If I take Zyprexa I become pre-diabetic even at normal weight but that normalizes when I get off. So now I just take Rexulti and only use Zyprexa if I am sleeping less than 7 hours for two nights in a row. I have a fitbit that tells me exactly how much I sleep every night and it has been more than a month since i had to take Olanzapine but there was a period in Feb/March where i was on a low dose every night just to get my required sleep. I am counting on this to keep me sane.

I've been putting off going to get a fasting blood test to see how my metabolism is on Rexulti. One thing is I want the effects from the time I was on Olanzapine every day to wear off.

At first I gained 15 pounds on Rexulti, slowly as it turned out. Then I just lost it once I started weighing myself once every day. It took awhile to loose it but I also didn't deprive myself of anything, just eliminated sugar and snack food and of course no sugary drinks.
