> Just my opinion, but my vote would be to return to Zyprexa and do all you can to battle the weight gain. For me, both Prozac and Adrafinil have counteracted the weight gain completely.I gained weight on Prozac, as did my sister. Apparently about 6% of users do. Will look into the Adrafinil. .. And you know I tease you about this, but the problem was genuine hunger, genuine blood sugar crashes. . .and there is evidence Zyprexa can cause Type II Diabetes (just my luck)
The weight problems are well-beyond mere self-discipline. I was also on Dex the whole time. . .and even experienced the massive hunger while on Atkins diet, where your blood sugar is rock steady.
What do you know about Glucophage?Thanks,
Zo
> Both drugs apparently have good potential for you. But of the two, Buprenorphine has the greater risks and potential problems later on, such as tolerance, pooping out, addiction and withdrawal. It is a drug better suited for short term use.
