Re: Treatment for Weight Gain from Zyprexa, etc.

Prettyday,
This was just an article documenting a very negative side effect that leads to medication non-compliance in many patients taking zyprexa and other atypical anti-psychotic meds. A way of counteracting the health risks was also presented - particularly by means of a med that would not cause further reactions in interaction with the Zyprexa.
Please share your negative critique. I'm sure it will be thought provoking

It sounds as if Sweetz already had some negative experiences taking the med briefly x2 which hardly constitutes noncompliance, so if you want to share, the more we can all learn

I've seen 10 year-olds gain up to 30 pounds on resperidol alone which did help attentiveness and learning, but put them at great health risk.

DrewsM is correct that other other atypical antipsychotics can facilitate better functioning than the First Generation ones; however, these meds have not been sufficiently tested on children in the course of development. All of your warnings are important.

All critical thinking is welcome. These are new meds on the market and future generations could be helped psychologically and put at great health risk.
