Generic Zyprexa is cheap and very effective for most people. The trouble with it is it can often cause weight gain. But if you're only on it for the summer, it might not be too terrible.....after a few weeks the initial increase in hunger tends to level off, and so does the weight. (Your mileage may vary.)
