Sorry, but the only thing I can tell you is that you'll have to try it and see what happens. Everyone is different and people don't get the same side effects. I know some really tiny people that have taken Zyprexa, Lithium, and/or Depakote. I, on the other hand, had worked really hard to lose about 40lbs. I then started taking Zyprex and the weight came back within a couple of months...and it decided to bring friends. My metabolism was never the same after that. I was hitting the gym, but could not get my eating in check. For some reason it made me eat anything that was not nailed down and sleep all the time. I know some people who have gained a significant amount of weight on Abilify. However, I find it to be fairly weight neutral...go figure.

Hope you find something that works for you without the weight gain issue.
