Does Zyprexa cause weight gain?

Unfortunately, all anti psychotic drugs do cause weight gain. Other mild side effects of zyprexa include dry mouth, cough, constipation, drowsiness and fatigue. All these side effects persists for duration of the therapy. However, the side effects are tolerable. In rare cases, Zyprexa can also cause mood changes, abnormal body movements, muscle pain, depression,  weakness, numbness or trouble walking.
To avoid weight gain, there is no great solution except eating less and walking more
