Zyprexa and sweet binges
| Mon, 07-16-2007 - 5:51am |
OK folks, because I got so manic last week, I started Zyprexa again. And now that I've been on it several days, I am going crazy binging on sweets:/! I've gone through a whole box of Fruit Loops and half a pack of cookies in three days. Does this sound familiar to anyone, and does anyone know how to avoid this?!
I've got to go back on Geodon:(. Hopefully, I can get a pdoc up here to write a script for it...

Zyprexa can cause insulin changes in the body which can make you crave sweets. I know some people get diabetes while taking Zyprexa. You may want to change meds. I am not sure if the sweet cravings will go away while on this med. I have heard many people say they get these cravings while taking it.
Good luck
