At a low dose of 30 mg I have no racing thoughts and my weight is stable, even though I take Zyprexa which, untamed, causes weight gain in me. I bet that without Zyprexa I'd lose weight, but I need Zyprexa for sleep and mental clarity.

I am the same way except instead of Zyprexa I use Seroquel which helps me with so many issues I don't know what I would do without. It also helps me with sleep. I get a solid 8 hours of sleep every night and have no trouble falling asleep. No nightmares or dreams either. But the side effect from Seroquel just like Zyprexa is weight gain. I have been using Metformin ER and diet with Nutrisystem to lose weight so far. |

I cant use Nutrisystem. I tried. They send me a box with 5 little candy bars? Those will be eaten within the hour.

I have read reviews of people who have tried Topamax and many are real nightmares due to the side effects. |

Zonisamide gave me a mania so bad that I ended up losing my job.
