I have gained a ton of weight on Zyprexa. I started it at the end of Nov. 2022 and have gained 20 lb. with no sign of the scale stopping. I don't even seem to eat that much (and I eat healthy foods for the most part), and for the first time ever, my bad cholesterol has gone into the red zone (when it's never been close). My pdoc plans to stop they Zyprexa and just replace it with the Vraylar possibly at my next appointment early next month or maybe go back to the Seroquel (which I stopped because of catatarct formation at an early age though I have had the surgery and am told they catataracts will not recur).

I am doing 20-35 minutes pilates (albeit beginner) and walking 20 minutes a day (just over 1 mile) for a week now. So far, nothing. Anyone have any luck losing weight on Zyprexa or at least after stopping it a bit? I know a week is a short period of time, but I am hating this extra weight.
