I think an under-reported complication of Zyprexa (and possibly some or all of the APs) is that the weight gain is associated with metabolic syndrome (unfavorable changes in blood lipids and glucose levels). Even in quite young people, this can lead to diabetes. Because you have an eating disorder, I think it would be extremely hard to add on these probable complications.
Do all classes of AD's cause flare-ups of the interstitial cystitis? What about the tricyclics? I have personally had success with TMS, and would consider ECT, as Dr. Steinhauer suggests, if I first looked into the treatment outcomes of the center I was considering having it at.
