By altering hypothalamic equilibrium
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.
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.
No. Sodium does not induce weight gain but it causes high blood pressure.
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%)
Stanazol is an anabloic steroid. It is used medicinally to induce weight gain or to treat anemia, however is has been abused by bodybuilders and athletes to gain muscle.
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
My psychiatrist told me Gravol could cause weight gain. She said that the mechanism in which Dimenhydrinate uses to cause drowsiness is the same mechanism that may cause weight gain in some cases. I do not know for sure and haven't seen her since for a more thourough explanation. This is why I am searching the same exact question. Good luck!
Clonidine can potentially lead to weight gain in some individuals, although this side effect is not universally experienced. The mechanism is not entirely understood, but it may be related to changes in metabolism or appetite regulation. If you are concerned about weight gain while taking clonidine, it’s important to discuss this with your healthcare provider. They can help assess your situation and consider alternatives if necessary.
Yes you do gain weight.
