My Psych prescribed Zyprexa to help me sleep at night. I saw that the drug may cause significant weight gain if used for a long time. Anyone on Zyprexa and whats your opinion on the weight gain thing...........or in general.......

Zyprexa worked well, but the weight gain was horrible. Had to go off of it because the weight gain was too much.
Thanks for this!

Hey I'm new on Zyprexa and it's really increased my appetite. If it works well and you don't have any major side effects then it's completely recommended from me.
Thanks for this!

30 pounds in 4 weeks. PLUS, I was home at the time, and I think I ate everything in the house.
Thanks for this!

I developed a raging appetite and after taking it at night woke up feeling crosseyed and disoriented. Not for me.
