A member asked:
Does weight loss affect olanzapine?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Side effect of Olanzapine is weight gain. So if you are trying to loose weight this might work against you. Also Olanzapine creates Insulin insensitivity so if you are diabetic need to be careful to prevent ketosis and hyperglycemic episodes.
