Merry Christmas everybody!

I wonder if there have been experiences, successful or not, of managing Zyprexa-induced weight gain by adding Wellbutrin. I am treatment-resistant and Zyprexa is the only thing that helps - but it helps almost like a miracle, making me highly functional. It even helps with chronic migraines. The trouble is weight gain. I take 7.5 mg of Zyprexa and now am adding 150 mg of Wellbutrin.
