Hi J,
>i am still withdrawing from seroquel is been 1 week and 3 days now, i still feel high off it, when should it be out of my system?
What do you mean when you say you feel high? Don't forget to answer LOL.
>but read this man, i dont want to get fat on the zyprexa but i dont want this to happen to me
Have you ever gained weight on an antipsychotic in the past? Perhaps you wouldn't gain much weight on Zyprexa, not everybody does, although weight gain in a very common side effect.
If you do gain a lot of weight, you could try orlistat, a drug which reduces the amount of fat that your body absorbs when you eat. Serious side effects are very unlikely with orlistat, although it *will* cause diarrhea if you eat too much fatty food! You have to control yourself and eat healthily!
As you know, amantadine can cause depression and psychosis in some people. For other people, amantadine acts as an antidepressant. When you took amantadine before it seemed to make you feel better, perhaps it acts as an antidepressant for you :-)
Weigh yourself regularly while you're on Zyprexa, unless you're gaining tonnes of weight you won't need a weight-loss drug. Try to eat a healthy diet, ask your mother to buy lots of fruit and vegetables!
