good question! I surrendered to the fat, because I was in so much psychic pain from my mental illness. Zyprexa really ravaged me - I didn't just gain a TON of weight, but experienced significant hair loss, as well! Y'know, it's crazy, but I was so freaking happy on zyprexa, even looking like Ben Franklin's sister. My meds were changed due to the complications caused by the excess weight (and the hair loss!), but I sometimes look back on the total, complete happiness I had during my Zyprexa days and sigh a little. I have never been that happy before or since.
