In reply to Solution for Zyprexa weight gain issue?, posted by 4WD on December 27, 2007, at 15:45:28
> I have found that if I take 100mg Provigil along with the 7.5 mg Zyprexa it cancels out the Zyprexa induced hunger to a very large extent. The Zyprexa makes me want to eat everything in sight and the Provigil makes me not want to eat at all so it balances out nicely. Unfortunately, while the Provigil helps with energy and motivation, it sure makes me jittery. Even on the Zyprexa which normally stops the jitters.

It is the only thing that gives me an appetite though- I have actually gained weight on this drug, probably due to its effect on orexin receptors.
It sounds like the Provigil is the solution to the weight gain issue, but now you have an anxiety problem. That is what these drugs are best at doing- they may solve one problem, but they create as many problems as they solve.
Maybe you can live with the jitters?-z
