Yep, already tried Latuda. Didn't seem to work as well. I've also tried Metformin with the Zyprexa which didn't do much on the weight either. Right now the doc has me down to about 5mg Zyprexa (was up to 20 at one point) and has added Desipramine. The combo is "ok" for now, but if I need more umph I don't want to go up on the Zyprexa again and I can't tolerate a higher dose on the Desi (side effects too bad). I appreciate all the input and I might ask about those APs you mentioned. It does help to have some ideas from folks that have similar issues.
My main symptoms are anxiety, depression, seclusiveness, anger and paranoia issues. Zyprexa is a miracle drug. I just wish they could refine it to get rid of the bad effects.
