Both....you have a signal in your brain through ampk that makes you eat more but also your bacterial flora change. So you get more weight per calorie consumed due to the flora....problem is past a certain point even if you get off meds your flora won't go back to what they were before....you have a new normal.

Ugh, yeah in just 3-4 weeks I've packed on like 10 lbs...my appetite has been out of this world and I'm nearly certain it's the Zyprexa.

Cars sometimes laugh at me too, I think it's that funny engine starting sound, my brain translated it as a laughter.

The only med I've gained weight from is Depakote, but I'm on trileptal instead now.

I just go through my friend list here and realized two of my friends' accounts are being suspended. I feel bad to them, when I was off meds not long time ago I ignored many people and now that I feel ready to talk again, they got their account suspended Now to think of it most of my close friends here are the ones who often got moderated.
