Oh, I'm sorry to hear. Forgive me if I'm making you repeat yourself, but is it the severe weight gain/diabetes risk that most bothers you about zyprexa, or something else? I sure was no fan of it myself, and my trials were so brief.Can you give abilify a one night trial or so? No weight gain, supposedly. I tried it before- and it was way too wacky for me- I felt severe myoclonus that night, like electric shocks as if I was being electrocuted- but klonopin remedied this almost immediately when I broke down took lots extra of it. (Needless to say, that wan't a good med for me.) But maybe it could be worth a trial, just in case it would work for you? Just an idea.
Another idea- supposing it is the weight gain/appetite issues that are part of your issue with zyprexa, would it be plausable to request some sort of appetite suppressent to use along with it?
I just hope this can get figured out- no sense in a cure worse than what its remedying- I can relate to some of that.
