>than end up the size of a house on Zyprexa.
Its so true. My mother in law (well I'm not techically married to my bf, but you know what I mean) is obese - she takes Zyprexa and valium for acute anxiety. Its really sad because she doesn't really realise that she's obese because of the Zyprexa - she somehow blames herself or something. She's totally clueless about pysch meds and doesn't talk about it at all. I only discovered the zyprexa when I opened the wrong cupboard door! She's been on Zyprexa for at least a few years I think. She really has rock bottom self esteem about the obese thing. Well I guess it wasn't much to begin with, but now she's obese...she's virtually house bound too, although they live in remote West Coast Ireland, so there's not exactly much to do....
Anyway.
Kind regards
