> Do you experience more carbohydrate cravings on Nardil than with Zyprexa alone?
No. Its strange. Not only am I not craving more carbs but my appetite is not so crazy. I'm actually sticking to my diet without much trouble at all.
> I really don't want to go up to 10mg Zyprexa. Others I would consider adding if necessary are perphenizine, Rexulti, and Saphris. I like Rexulti as its shown to be less prone to cognitive difficulties and akathisia as compared to Abilify.
> I would encourage you to do that. Maybe even replace Zyprexa if possible. Zyprexa is bad metabolically although you could counteract it with Metformin. Maybe you can take Metformin AND change to one of the APs you mentioned. Speaking from the metabolic perspective, that would be best. But i would first see that you somewaht stabilize on Nardil before you make further changes.
I'd like to try another AP that doesn't cause weight gain, but as you said I need to stabilize on Nardil first. And if my appetite stays where it's at I'll probably just stay on 5mg Zyprexa for the duration. If it ain't broke, right? As for metformin, my pdoc wont prescribe it. I asked and he said its for patients with diabetes. I'm not going to change his mind, believe me.
