Just wondered - i've been put on Olanzapine to manage my bipolar (happy for bipolar adds for mutual support if tyou add me just say hi with your friend request so I know why you did). Has anyone on here successfully managed their weiight on olanzapine. It seems to be working (3 weeks in) but i've gained half a stone already and had a call back from dr's from the barrage of tests they did at start (cholesterol is culprit).
Really happy after 7 years to find a med that works but im stressed about the weight as im four stone off where I wanna be.

Hope someone can please help....

    Lots of diet change and working out is the key. My niece is taking the same meds, she 23 yrs old and I helped her get on a green smoothie meal replacement and within 1 month her cholesterol was under control. Lots of greens. It actually taste great..
