Q: why, after stopping zyprexa, did the weight i gained not start to fall (it stopped increasing)?

: Because the body is far more resistant to weight loss than it is to weight gain. Please talk with a doctor trained in weight management to discuss strategies to reduce your weight gradually over the next several months.
