چکیده
Two females with severe anorexia nervosa were treated with olanzapine in open trials. Olanzapine was tried because it has caused weight gain in other patient groups. Both anorexic patients had a chronic illness and had failed multiple other treatments.

These case histories support further exploration of this class of drugs in anorexia nervosa.
