You forgot regular and possibly vigorous excercise... (not that I'm on Zyprexa, but Seroquel has raised my cholesterol, I'm a vegan and while it still passes with flying colours from my doctor it is on the high end of things). I'm curious to see what the panel will be in a bit this time. Not everything is solved with an arsenal of extended medication although if things get severe, you have mentioned possibilities for people.
