Metformin for Zyprexa weight gain? And Amisulpride

Posted by NikkiT2 on June 26, 2003, at 10:41:14

I've just seen my pdoc, and we discussed the possiblitiy pf using metformin... I have Polycystic ovary syndrome, and was sent a report on how metformin help with the weight gain and "hairyness" from that.. so thought I'd bring it up with him.. and he said he had heard of it being used to counter anti psychotic weight gain.. but he wasn't 100% sure about it.. does anyone know anything about this???
he also suggested doing some research into Amisulpride as this has less weight gain than Zyprexa... what does anyone reckon to that?? I love my zyprexa as it keeps thise suicial / self harm thoughts right at bay, but am getting very fed up with looking like a beached whale...
