Is there a drug that works similarly to symbyax for the treatment of bipolar disorder? |
symbyax is a combination of fluoxetine (prozac) and olanzapine (zyprexa) that works wonders but has the unfortunate side effect of inducing significant weight gain (that's the zyprexa), a prohibitive factor in those already overweight for whom it represents a serious medical concern in it's own right. does anyone know of a similarly-acting med that is weight neutral? the prozac by itself does not help. thanks! Zyprexa is one of the most weight gaining drugs you can take. |
