[QUOTE="buddy, post: 543512, member: 12886"] We are having the same shocking weight gain with zyprexa and lithium. They say it can affect many systems including hormones one big issue is insulin. So the benefits for us right now out weigh the increase in weight. He was 85 at age 14 last year at this time. He has had a growth spurt of several inches so is up to 5-3 or maybe even 5-4 as I recently noticed we are eye to eye. But his weight is now over 140! It is scary but he goes to the doctor for bloodwork to monitor it. Just an ongoing balancing act. For q I know it is both metabolism change and he can't stop eating. At his age I don't get into power struggles over food though. [/QUOTE]
