if you're going on the atypicals, labs are a good call. Blood sugar tests are a must. In addition, doing cholesterol and triglycerides might be good. Periodic glucose monitoring is a good idea, especially if you do put on any weight.
Adding metformin to zyprexa sometimes prevents weight gain or reduces gained weight; I imagine that might help with metabolic issues with other atypicals as well.
