A member asked:
I discontinued zyprexa after ten days three years ago. i am eighty pounds overweight, mostly from abilify. i have read some people stop these meds and go five, ten years or longer with no change in weight, even though they eat healthy. why is this?

As mentioned in another question, Zyprexa taken three years ago does not have anything to do with your current weight. It does not prevent weight loss. It is just not easy to lose weight. See the other question for advice. Good luck.
