I've been very fortunate with Zyprexa. It works, it hasn't caused cholesterol problems, and I've somehow been able to drop almost 70 lbs. while taking it. (That's since my husband died in July of last year and my appetite went away.) That being said, those issues would be deal-breakers for me if I had them. I'd have to find another AP that doesn't cause those things.
