In reply to Zyprexa weight gain, posted by FredPotter on October 24, 2005, at 15:37:05
There are some investigators looking at using amantadine (Symmetrel) as a drug to control the weight gain produced by Zyprexa.
I recently read about another medication to address the issue, but I can't seem to remember which one. I'll try to jog my memory.
Some people are crossing-over from Zyprexa to Abilify so that weight gain and diabetes is no longer an issue. Still, I remain impressed with the potency of Zyprexa as an augmentor of antidepressants.
