Blitz Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Ive gained 25 pounds on this drug when I'm off it totally will my weight come off and how soon? I take celexa as well. I asked this before but really need people to give me the honest truth from their experiences. I wont be on another anti-psychotic after Z. Just the celexa for depression/social anxiety.

Guest Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 It didn't for me but I went onto to take meds that put weight on me anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maybell Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I put on much the same amount of weight gain, bout 15-20kg over the space of the few months I was on Zyprexa. And once I went off it, about half the weight came off...then I lost some more and was roughly around my pre-Zyprexa weight prob about 6-8 months after being off it. I wasn't very actively trying to lose weight mind you, so it could come off sooner if you were sensibly dieting and exercising with the goal of losing weight. I just found with Zyprexa, I just NEVER felt full, I could sit there and eat three bowls of cereal in a row and still feel hungry Of course I then went and put the weight back on with a combination of other medications and just other emotional/mental issues...so now have to start again.

rowan77 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 No. I never lost the weight I gained on Zyprexa when I took in back in 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meganhalley Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I never lost it either, but then again, I went on to other meds that weren't very weight friendly either. I think like anything though, you'd really have to actively work at it to get it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koa Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 The weight for me has stayed on, but I went on another Antipsychotic after zyprexa. There was about a year where I was non-compliant with my meds and about half of the weight from zyprexa came off, but it came back on with another antipsychotic.
