I gained much more weight on Zyprexa, initially very fast and then some more. I took Zyprexa for several years. I then started on Ozempic, a weight loss med, and the weight gain reversed. Later, my pdoc switched me to Latuda, which is weight neutral. I eventually lost the Zyprexa weight, but it took almost a year. I did strength training. Looking at your photo, you would not qualify for Ozempic because your BMI is still not in the problematic range. My advice is to find a replacement for Zyprexa. Vraylar did not work for me, but Latuda did. Maybe Vraylar will work for you as it does for many people. Try to find a weight neutral replacement. You can think of weight loss afterwards, but first nip the problem in the bud.
