> I'm so sorry to hear that Geodon affected your heart like that. I have to say, I got a little freaked when I read the enclosed pamphlet that came with my Geodon. I've never taken Zyprexa, and am nervous about the weight gain issue. Have you ever known anyone to take Zyp and *not* gain weight? My pdoc says you can take it with Topomax to offset the weight gain problem. Not sure I want to do that tho...

> Thanks--AAllisonf,
Risperdal is good (I had to take it w/ Bromocriptine to counteract increased prolactin levels). Every single report I have heard about Zyprexa includes significant weight gain.
