Zyprexa in children: Is the weight gain avoidable.

Most children do get increased appetites when put on Olanzapine. In all the years in practice I have seen only one child not do so. Try using Zydis, it may not cause as much weight gain. Maybe the route of absorption will do the trick. But in the end a very strict diet and exercise program is needed to prevent excessive weight gain. But how does one cut the "hunger reigns" is still a mystery.
