Bromocriptine with AP's to counter weight gain???

Posted by Vince on October 8, 2002, at 20:32:29

Any Doctor's, pharmacists out there willing to venture a guess?

I'm wondering about using bromocriptine to counter the weight gain SE of Zyprexa.

Bromocriptine lowers prolactin levels and lowers blood glucose levels, both of which Zyprexa will increase.

Bromocriptine is a D2 agonist and a partial D1 antagonist. I have no idea what interaction this would have with Zyprexa.

Any ideas???
