Hi,
Just to give you some info-there are five (newer) anti psychotics.

Risperdal-(puts on weight about half as bad as Zyprexa)

Seroquel- a little better about weight than Risperdal

Zyprexa-Horribly weight gain inducing and bad if you have a family history of Diabetes

Geodon-Some risk of heart problems

I think there is one more but i can't remember it.

Usually for bipolar you need a mood stabilizer, an anti psychotic and and anti depressant at the least.

hope this helps

Tammy
