Mainly it is the histamine H1-receptor antagonism that induces weight gain, but some say that serotonin 5-HT2C antagonism also contributes. The H1 antagonism also causes sedation.

No, Ive been couple years ago on 250 mg.
Blood tests are not necesery here.
I dont get any symptoms, just sleep a lot.
I put weight on Zyprexa, and no ups and downs, but on clozapine you can diet, unlike Zyprexa.
At first, I lost weight eating moderatelly, but then I started junk food.
Clozapine is “I dont give a fucck med”.
It really tranquilizes you.
Twenty years ago it was my first med.
I gained weight in a short time, and drooled a lot.
But after 5 months I was completely functional.
Never had problems with heart or agracunolocitosys.
Ive done tests bc of ocd often.
Dont worry if you develop weight gain, it can easilly go away.
JustNO sweets…

I think that Clozapine is a little worse for weight gain than Zyprexa but by a little bit.
But Zyprexa gives you an insatiable appetite worse than Clozapine.
Weight gain is easier to manage on Clozapine.
