hey! If its between zyprexa and geodon, then I really dont know what to tell you. Adding metformin (glucophage, glucophage xr) sometimes helps with weight gain, as does adding amantidine or Meridia, a new-ish diet pill. Each of these medications will come with additional risks, course; metformin strikes me as the least risky, but your doctor will know for sure. Have you tried depakote? Or...tegretol, trileptal, keppra, lithium, calcium channel blockers, dilantin? All of these can help stabilize bipolar w/o the risks assoicated with antipsychotics.
