So I have been having terrible rushes of anxiety where I tell family members I have a connection to prison and I am king of prison.
What could remove this. Anyone else? Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

I don't have an answer, unfortunately. But your thread reminded me of Melancholy Hill by the Gorillaz.

I'd personally take mental health over weight gain

Not everyone gains weight. Zyprexa is bad for that but not for everyone, just a lot of people. I didn't gain anything on it although I wasn't on it long because it did absolutely nothing for me (which isn't common I don't think; it's supposed to work very well for most people). My dr said some of the weight gain depends on your weight when you start; people who are at lower weights are at higher risk to gain. I remember thinking it was nice my Seroquel weight was good for something.....

Zyprexa made me gain about ten pounds in a week. I swear. Lol.

Lithium was my worst weight gain drug, probably just because it was first. Most people don't gain so much on it but I gained 60 lbs in the first 6 months. After that I don't think it ever caused more weight gain (depakote and Seroquel took care of that) but lithium made me go from XS scrubs to medium ones in a matter of weeks which was horrifying (medium not being big, just a big change from what I had been wearing and expensive to change all at once). I know people wondered but nobody asked me, they probably just talked behind my back which was fine with me.

Zyprexa is very well known as one of the worst offenders when it comes to weight gain. I could only take it for a couple weeks, I have anorexia and its just not safe or healthy for me to take any medications that is a weight gainer.
If you can cut your carbs and no sugar it can really make a difference. Good luck
