Unfortunatly I have fallen pray to
Zyprexa weight gain. Not anywhere near
as bad as Paxil or Serzone. Just 10 pds or
so. I've been on Topamax and tapering klonopin.
The process has killed my appetite and made me
racy, but I'm still a bit chunky. I thought
during these weeks I may shed a few of those
Zyprexa pounds, but nope. I'm personally
hoping I can dump the Zyprexa and just take
Topamax and Lamictal. Less is more anways.Btw, My klonopin tapering is going really
well; I'm down to 2.5 mg starting from 6 mg.
A lot of (hypo)mania though (not that I miss
the depression LOL)... A couple of work related
conspiracy theories, manic outrage on psycho
babble, 4 or 5 nutty business plans, and
a few other weird things I wouldn't even post.
I need to talk about this with the pdoc on
wednesday. (I'm slowing down the klonopin tapering
meanwhile)Good luck,
John
