both of those drugs will make you fat, zyprexa especially. but abilify also known for weight gain. not worth the trade off IMO.
I'm on a new drug now called latuda which I actually feel ok on and isnt supposed to cause weight gain. try that instead.
(other posters are correct that bpd is not treated with drugs, but some of the other symptoms are, like the anger, the depression- take care of those and it makes it easier to unwind the cognitive distortions.)
