   you should see ur doc and try other meds. Tegretol is a good mood stabilizer and no weight gain. But anyway even if meds cause weight gain, this can be resolved w/out quitting them. Just see a dietitian and try to exercise. Being fit and in shape can help improve mental pbs. wish u all the best.

   I’ve got alternatives for you.

   First of all, Zyprexa is the fat causing culprit. You just look at the pill container, and you gain 20 lbs!

   A very good replacement for Zyprexa is Geodon, and also Abilify. There are other antipsychotics, but they’re weight gainers.

   Geodon and Abilify will not put weight on you.

   Discuss this with your doctor. Call the doc now, it’s best not to stop medication abruptly without the doc’s okay. And why suffer? You can feel well again with no paranoia.
