Re: Treatment for Weight Gain from Zyprexa, etc.

Ill admit I only scanned the article, but BEWARE.

Zyprexa is not the only a-typical anti-psychotic that causes weight gain. The mental health industy is now admitting that Risperdal and other a-typicals also cause these same problems. Go figure they are in the same class of drug and have almost an identical chemical makeup.

My 2 cents a-typicals are still "safer" to take than 50 year old anti-psychotics such as Haldol, or thorazine, but they are still "new" to the mental health field and LONG term effects or problems are still unknown.

If you are psychotic there is a good chance that you can live a "normal" life with these new anti-psychotics. If your not suffering from a psycotic disorder dont let you doc put you on these meds for sleep, depression, or even worse give them to your child who is "out of control".
