If zyprexa really is last ditch (I mean, after antihistamines, antidepressants, benzos, ambien/lunesta/etc., and herbal stuff), then I suggest...
1) see if you can add in metformin--may help with the weight stuff, although its more effective if you start them both @ the same time. Talk to your doc.
2) ask about amantidine or meridia--again, helps with weight
3) try the Zydis. they dissolve in your mouth, largely bypassing the serotonin receptors in your gut. You may be able to use a lower dose and see fewer side effects
Good luck!
