Not sure if you are familiar with this article
http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2010/10/zyprexa_and_fat.htmlIt explains how Zyprexa causes weight gain
Zyprexa makes free fatty acids level go down.
Zyprexa's effects on glucose and insulin are bad.
Zyprexa's effect on triglycerides is... weird.
Zyprexa Makes Your Body Use Fat, Not Carbs, As Fuel
why would increased utilization of fat be a bad thing? turning your arteries into Twizzlers. Yum!
SUMMARY: A class effect, to varying degrees; and eating less may not help.
In other words, Zyprexa didn't make the rats heavier, it made them fatter. It increased their body fat while decreasing the lean body mass. Bright side: now they can float!
Well thank God doctors are finally going to know the truth about Zyprexa!
Ordinarily, this kind of information would have come to me through my Abilify rep: "see? Zyprexa blows!" But the FDA now forbids anti-competitor comparisons; and neither are the reps allowed to tell me that the study exists. Promotional speakers can't mention this either. So? CME? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
(continuing medical education)It would be worth your time to read the article
