A member asked:
When i stopped abilify i was losing the weight i put on, but this didnt happen after stopping zyprexa. why?

Everyone responds to different medications differently and the side effects you experience with one med may not be the same side effects you experience with a different med. It is possible the Zyprexa did not cause you weight gain so stopping it would not lead to weight loss. If you need to lose weight, your doctor can help with that. Good luck to you!
