Amantadine has been reported to prevent the weight gain associated with Zyprexa (olanzapine) treatment. You can find several abstracts regarding this on Medline. Amantadine is both an antiviral and an anti-Parkinsonion drug. It has NMDA antagonist properties and perhaps some poorly understood pro-dopaminergic properties. I know someone who successfully prevented their invariable weight-gain associated with Zyprexa treatment by using amantadine.
