I gained 70 pounds on Zyprexa many years ago. Doctor took me off it. I lost the weight and since have been on other meds that also made me gain weight. I've just started 3 new meds. and am hoping to lose weight again now. Many of the meds cause weight gain and wanting to eat all the time. I am going to try to start exercising-that gets the chemistry working better, too. Now I'm just trying to get motivated to do it again. Best wishes to you.
