> My concern is that it seems to have lot of side effects that could effect the heart. I have to be careful because I have gone into cardiac arrest from my anorexia. My heart wasn't damaged, but cardiac arrest is always a possibility. I know I am doing this to myself. But you have to understand that eating disorders are very complicated beasts.

Hi Maxime,
I'm not very well read on this medication. I did take it for a short time but whimped out because of the akathisia. From what I have read it seems to have less side effects on weight and other cardiovascular risk factors than the other atypical antipsychotics.
Best of Luck,
Jedi
