I have gained 50 pounds in one year as a result of taking Zyprexa! I have given up lunch to try to slow the weight gain.
Working / Worked
Gained 50 pounds each time I took it -- Made the rest of my life miserable -- Wonder of my worthiness to the opposite sex, etc. Horrible self-image ( I didn't even look in the mirror for three months) I lost 20 pounds playing in the ocean 2 days in a row for 2 hours. That's my plan for this summer as well.
