In reply to Re: Can't handle zyprexa weight gain, onto Abilify, posted by Zyprexa on October 23, 2009, at 23:14:06
I completely agree, and in fact have posted something almost exactly along the lines of your arguments very recently myself. Unfortunately, the weight gain and appetite increase is pretty serious, and im already taking metformin.
My hope is that zyprexa over teh past 6 weeks was enough to get me out of teh pit and renormalize things, and now abilify is enough to keep me steady. However, if abilify isn't doing the trick, I will go back to zyprexa. I agree, it is silly to worry about weight when one is trying to treat a serious, life threatening depresison.
