Hi:
I wholeheartedly agree with you, ... Zyprexa is #1 A.P., amongst A.P. category. However, a Weight-Gain is ALSO #1 problem for most Zyprexa takers, particularly among female ppls. If there is some 'magic' NOT to make a weight gain, this A.P. must be MORE great.Despite this problem,'weight gain,' ... I heard that the Zyprexa is a top-sale list, the next seems the Risperdal that is also widely used for Shizo. and Shizoaffective disorder. The Abilify seems more for Bp I with psychotic features.
One of friends got a REALLY success on the Zyprexa(high-dosage) due to 'shizoaffective,' although he still complains about 'weight issue.'
In my case, just at 5 mg. before the bed does NOT cause any weight, but again I take a weight-suppresant meds. 'two,'... 'Wellbutrin SR 300 mg.' and 'Trazodone 150 mg.' which makes me NOT hungry all the time. Actually, 'NOT hungry' is a problem for me, because I need a good psysical energy for cultivating a big and beautiful flower-garden during the summer, after the work.
