My mind will say it's ok, don't take med, they make you worse. You can simply stay in this state. The latter is winning. I feel something is controlling me. A force.
Zyprexa is the worst by far for weight gain..try a weight neutral med like Geodon, abilify or Latuda or add metformin to your AP to reduce weight gain...results are different for everyone though,
