Abilify caused intolerable akathisia (sp?). Geodon caused hypersomnia. I could fall asleep in the middle of a conversation. It was bad. I choose Zyprexa because I feel it calms me, and it erases my tendency towards insomnia. The weight gain IS an issue with Zyprexa but maybe the metformin would help. I don't do well with weight gain.
Thanks for your interest in helping me, a complete stranger hah :)
How are you doing?
