How much weight will Zyprexa cause me to gain? Will I become fat?

[bethany]

I'm 5 ft 1 in. and 160 lbs now...so I might be a little bit over weight now....the Zyprexa is supposed to help me with my anxiety and depression...but I'm worried that it will cause we to become obese. I've only been taking Zyprexa for a week now. I haven't noticed any side effects so far other than I'm more tired than normal. I take 10 mg at night. I know the side effects are supposed to be weight gain....how much weight gain can I expect? When would it start? I really don't want to become fat but I'm worried that I will. What other side effects have any of you noticed? Seroquel affected my memory a lot...I couldn't remember anything people would tell me.....that's why I switched to Zyprexa...has Zyprexa affected anyone' memory?

my friend was on it and she developed a rash under her breasts, so i think she is taking abilify now. but she did say that the zyprexa made her sleepy....if you notice a weight gain, just tell the doc to change the meds....
