koali777 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I swore to myself I wouldn't try Zyprexa because of the weight gain, but after some adjusting, I ended up on it. Will I not gain weight if I don't eat too much? Will the sedation wear off? I seem to crave fruit of all things lol. Is Zydis better than Zyprexa alone?

Phoenix_Rising Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 My experience with Zyprexa has been quite positive in terms of what it did for my mood. I did gain weight (about 10-15 lbs), but I was overweight to begin with and ate like crap. I know of others that are taking Zyprexa that haven't had any weight gain. I think the only difference b/t Zyprexa and Zyprexa Zydis is that Zyprexa Zydis is an orally disintegrating pill, but I'm not 100% sure about that.

netsavy006 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I don't know if this makes any since, but when I took the Zyprexa Zydis, vs. Zyprexa tablets was that with the Zydis, I feel asleep faster than the tablets, and I was less sedated on the Zydis as well.

koali777 Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 You're right, Andy. You fall asleep quicker but then aren't as sedated during the day. My dosage seems backwards...she wasnts Zydis as my constant med, and plain old Zyprexa as needed. I just didn't add that to my signature. I'd rather not gain weight at all, but 10 pounds isn't bad... If I don't overeat, will it help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
