According to Physicians' Desk Reference, the most common side effects of Zyprexa (Olanzapine) include weight gain when used to treat certain conditions in both adults and adolescents.
By altering hypothalamic equilibrium
it will increase your appetite which will cause you to gain some weight depending on how high yiour metabolism is, it may be a lot i have a high one, so my weight gain was not very notiecable
My only response to this is that a friend of mine was taken off Olanzapine (Zyprexa) and put on Abilify in order to stop their weight gain.
Alzheimer's commonly causes weight loss. Some medications that are used to treat Alzheimer's such as zyprexa and seroquel are know to cause weight gain.
Heh. No only it is NOT addictive, but it ranks as the second most hated psychiatric drug after Zyprexa, due to its massive weight gain.
Yes...Zyprexa (Olanzapine). The bigest problem with it is weight gain. --------------- It depends on what you are taking it for. Abilify is prescribed for schizophrenia, bipolar mania, and recently it has been marketed for depression. From experience I do not think the feeling produced is in any way similar to zyprexa. Abilify is a partial D2 agonist and zyprexa is a potent D2 antagonist. From experience abilify = no appetite and akathisia zyprexa= sedation weight gain I have been told that the new antipsychotic saphris is very similar to abilify. It looks promising but there is a very high rate of extrapyramidal symptoms (about 20%)
I strongly suggestt hat you do not take Zyprexa. I took it and had HORRIBLE side effects. I am sure it can be different for some but two of my friends were on it and we all experienced severe weight gain (20 lbs in 2 weeks) and extreeme fatigue. I took Lexapro and Zyprexa together along with Colonipin. Not a great mix. Make sure you check with your Dr before taking anything. Medication can be very dangerous if not taken properly
does cherry gain weight
Yes it's collagen make you gain weight
No, showering does not make you gain weight. Weight gain is primarily influenced by factors such as diet, exercise, and metabolism, not by showering.
no it can make you gain weight!
It shouldn't make you gain weight, I believe it is one of few birth controls that wont make you gain weight, but it can cause breast enlargement, so I guess if it does this then yes it could possibly make you gain very very little weight.
