A drug rep was at work Monday. Interesting news:

Med makers found a way to add a specific molecule to olanzipine and it stops the metabolic reactions typically seen from just plain olanzipine. Ie weight gain etc!!!!! For some people who switched they even lost weight.

I know that zyprexa works well for me but I can’t take it due to metabolic side effects. Just thought id share!

Are you going to try it? It's worthless to me as Zyprexa doesn't do anything for me so I'll be staying on clozaril until someday something surpasses it. I wish they'd come up with a cleaner version of clozaril. No weight gain, drooling and bed-wetting would be lovely. But it works so I don't care.

It is about time!!!

I looked into it as it was recommended to me a few months back, you still gain weight just not as much.

Sounds promising! Thanks for sharing about it. I hope people who need it can afford any copays.

Zyprexa worked quite well on stabilizing my moods, too, but I only took it briefly as it caused me not only rapid weight gain, but awful akathisia. I hope this new med has little chance of both. I remember an inpatient psychiatrist telling me that Zyprexa should be kept in mind in the future as an "emergency only med."
