Is it possible to lose weight on zyprexa?

I am scared now, that I increased my Zyprexa… But I wasn’t well in my head at all… I wanted to scream by fear outside almost by fear and anxiety… Let’s see already if this will help :confused: …I am also scared that the 10 mgs will numb me intellectually and emotionally, or not?..
But gosh, even my face is marked by this ap… I have those cheeks, double chin etc etc…
Idk… Who was able to lose weight on Zyprexa? I guess ill move more once I am better in my head… But idk if even this will help…
Tell me that the Zyprexa can help my fears, idk… My doc said, that my fears stop me from function, not so much my negatives… My somatics related to my fears were terrible, I don’t want to suffer by them anymore… But all my ‘‘healthy’’ friends say that they can say, that I am on meds… I changed… whatever…

Zyprexa was kind of dulling to me. It also made me crave sugar. Have you ever tried Geodon? That drug controls my symptoms without dulling my mind. It does slow me down physically, but I 60 years old, and I’ve got to expect that.

Ive tried all the other aps. I made only this for 10 years… They were 11 aps, including Geodon yeap(Geodon seemed for my case too weak, it never calmed me down)… I am very anxious sz, only Zyprexa calms me down a bit…

Honestly, I threw the towel in trying to get thin on Olanzapine.

Its a magic pill for weight gain.

I see, dear… Well, at least if I can be outside more, have some kind of life… It’ll be good if I am stronger in my body, even a bit overweight… I probably look as s*** after fifteen years of sedentary… I need to move for health, not only for the look…
I just cleaned up my living room and I see how bad is my body too now… Do you have some life at least now @anon39015889? Yeap, even my mom says that ill be less liked now with this body :confused: … I don’t blame her, she is right… I am too ill and now look too bad… anyway, lets fight.

I have never been on zyprexa personally. If you can find the weight loss thread people posting on that thread have lost weight on zyprexa. Of course that is with a reduced calorie diet.

I have lost 42 pounds since starting Zyprexa in the middle of March.

I achieve this through limiting my calories to 1400, and now within the last month I have changed to a completely vegan (and no junk food, no oil) diet. I track my food daily on a weight loss website so I can make sure I am hitting all my nutritional goals.

It takes work, but yes, it can be done. The weight loss thread is on the Health and Recovery section. There are others there losing weight on APs.

They should give zyprexa to people who are anorexic.

depends on how it effects you, if u gain alot of weight on it and feel extra hungry, chances are you wont lose the weight until you discontinue it

When I started 20mg zyprexa, I got ravenous. I would mix protein powder with a little water and eat the goo. I barely gained weight.
