Metformin for weight increase from AntiPsychotics?

Posted by jerrypharmstudent on July 19, 2009, at 22:40:12

I've read that docs use Metformin to combat the weight gain associated with anti=psychotics. However, I was put on it years ago to combat Seroquel's weight effects and had terrible, terrible abdominal cramps.

I plan on asking my doc about it because I'm on Zyprexa and I'm gaining weight even tho I am exercising and eating better.

I guess my questions are - has anyone been on this combo with success? Do the abdominal cramps/diarrhea go away eventually?

Thanks in advance.
Jerry
