This medicine has combination of two ingredients, one olanzapine which usually increases appetite and weight significantly while another fluoxetine which decreased appetite for time being in few patients. As you taking both of these ingredients in this medicine its completely depends on individual's body how that react to these ingredients together. Yes there is a possibility that it can decrease weight but in most of the cases this combination increases weight.
I hope you got the answer of your query.
Next Steps
If you are concerned about this problem discuss with your psychiatrist or take second opinion nearby or online to change the medicine with some other which doesn't have such side effect.
