Suggest An Alternative Of Zyprexa

I need to find an alternative to Zyprexa that doesn t cause weight gain. I ve been taking 15-20 mg Zyprexa since 1999, and since then I have gained 110 pounds. Trying to lose weight is an uphill battle with this stuff. Now I am at a critical point where my weight is my main medical concern. Is there anything else, ie, Depakote?

Hi,

You can consult a psychiatrist and try alternatives like Aripiprazole (Abilify), which has lesser risk of weight gain.
