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
