Hey, Kerry!
I am so glad you are connected with this clinic. It sounds like you have a reasonable treatment plan in place.
As for the weight gain: I know that with lithium, I was constantly thirsty, and went for the sweet drinks a lot, which can put on a lot of weight. Perhaps you can be sure to drink water and cut out any sugary drinks, to avoid weight gain with the lithium-zyprexa combo. I know it is the zyprexa you are worreid about, not the lithium, but if you do drink sugary drinks, it is a relatively easy way to cut some unneeded calories out.
In any event, Your emotional stability seems way more of a priority than the weight right now.
Good luck.
