Also talk to your doctor about adding in
(non-prescription) carnitine and chromium.> Talk to your doctor about the Zyprexa which is a major offender when it comes to weight gain. Find out if you still need it (many times a person can come off it once the depression is under control). Exercising, watching high calorie snacks, and eating healthy? If mood symptoms are still a problem, you may want to ask the doctor about Topamax which can help stabilize mood but causes weight loss, rather than gain.
