I am a smoker. Started Zyprexa 3 weeks ago and crave nicotine like crazy. Anybody find themselves, who are smokers, smoking twice as much as well as eating the whole refrigerator of food?

Hi, Quando!
No, it never increased my nicotine cravings. In fact it can reduce the craving in some people. Zyprexa is notoriously known to cause increased appetite and weight gain in some users. The weight gain can be very substantial so be careful with that.
Regards, Wildcat
"Very common (10% or more of users): Weight gain/increased weight greater than/equal to 7% of baseline body weight (up to 89.4% of users)."

Thanks WildcatVet. Been on it 3 weeks and munchies are way down last couple days. Think I am smoking cause sitting at home doing nothing everyday and not really the Zyprexa. I just weighed and actually strangely lost 7lbs so guess I got a hyped metabolism, go figure. Appreciate you.
