will I still gain weight if I am on the smallest dose of olanzapine which is 2.5mgs because I was on 5mg and still gained weight.. Created by bone. health-en - mental-health-en

Actually, Olanzapine does not slow down your metabolism, it increases your appetite, which is the cause of the weight gain. A healthy balanced diet is the most important thing to avoid weight gain. If you must snack, make it fruit or a yoghurt etc. Exercise will obviously also help if you can find the time and inclination.
