> hey...not to be a Debbie Downer, but I'd try to take 1 AP/AAP at a time, if you can. When you mix them, side effects become more of an issue, plus you have drug-drug interactions to contend with.

> If you just need low-to-moderate dose AP/AAP, I'd try to pick just one, if you can. I did read that they've done some small studies on antioxidants w/ zyprexa...I saw an abstract for 1 with alpha lipoic acid and another with green tea extract. I don't know how they're supposed to help, but they seem to...at least, the alpha lipoic acid proved helpful.

I've looked at other AP's and AAP's and it seems like they all cause weight gain. In addition I really like Zyprexa aside from the weight gain.
I appreciate your input CE.
