I gained 4lbs in four weeks. I'm constantly eating and thirsty I'm @7.5 mg going down to 3.25 . I've tripled my intake some days. It sucked when my son said "mom... youre eating .....NORMAL!!!! " smartass. I put myself on zyprexa. Your best bet is to look at your " preferred medicine" for your insurance. Research them and choose from that list. I often feel jittery if I don't go to bed after or when I wake up it goes away in 30 or so min.
