Spike - I heard Dr. Richard Petty out of Philadelphia talk about using Glucophage™ (metformin) to stop Zyprexa™ (olanzapine)-induced weight gain. He claims that it is not due to better glucose regulation, but some other mechanism of action. I'm not holding my breath. We tried it in a couple of people, but all the got was nausea and 20 lbs in 6 months. - Cam
