Guest guest Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 Did have a lot of weight gain with the Zyprexa? Mikayla's gained 20 lbs. now in 2 months. Ugh. And she's REALLY self-conscious about it. However, her OCD is basically zero again, so it's such a relief, I hate to take her off to see what would happen. I'm wondering if her body will get used to it and the weight gain will slow down. Just wondering what your experience was. The pdoc wants to switch her to Abilify on Friday instead of the Zyprexa, but we've never tried it and I really don't want to mess with my happy, anxiety-free daughter the week before she starts middle school. :-( Dina > > > Quote
Guest guest Posted August 24, 2006 Report Posted August 24, 2006 was very young when she took the Zyprexa--she started taking it at seven and did not have any weight gain with it or with the Risperdal she is now taking. I don't know why some people have weight gain and why some don't. I used to wonder if puberty has something to do with it but still isn't gaining weight on the medication and she is now thirteen. Bizarre, isn't it? Kelley in NV Quote
