I have a friend of mine, whose doctor has precribed Zyprexa for the chronic pain she is in. He is afraid of her getting dependent on pain medication. Although I have never taken Zyprexa, I don't remember seeing any thread about this and I was surprised when she told me what he had prescribed for her.
I told her I would ask here for her. She already weighs 225 lb. and I told her one thing that I have heard, fairy consistently, that their can be a big weight gain while taking Zypreza.
Has anyone ever heard of this. I am also wondering about her doctor putting her on any medication that would put a lot of weight on her.
She is not being treated for any type of depession, bi polar or anything related.
