As the new antipsychotics go, Zyprexa tends to be the fatty pill. One of the selling point for Geodon was it weight-neutral profile; this selling point made a lot of shrinks RX it even though it causes heart weirdness (changes in the QTC-interval, which apparently means little except that certain drugs, like tricyclics or barbiturates, shouldn't be co-prescribed). Now that Abilify's out, it looks like it should become the next big thing, at least until...the next big thing. If you have "bipolar tendencies," have you tried a more conventional mood-stabilizer, say an anti-convulsant? I like Trileptal, lots of people love Lamictal, and some people still swear by Lithium. Just a suggestion.
