In reply to Risperdal or Zyprexa?, posted by hildi on July 14, 2002, at 10:54:07
Dear Hildi,
I've been on both. Risperdal is a great drug in combo w/ others. I refer to Risperdal as my friend. I was recently on Zyprexa and it makes you FAT! I gained seventeen pounds and climbing in a very short time. Because of that I'm now on Seroquel which seems to be working very well. Good luck to you and keep trying.
