Well after pouring out my heart about my weight gain on zyprexa my pdoc changed me to abilify which I had tried before but had a bad hypomanic episode while on it and the pdoc put me back on zyprexa.

Pdoc said we didn't give abilify long enough to work so we are gonna take both for 8 weeks, gradually reducing the dose of zyprexa and increasing the dose of ability.

Has anyone else made a change and have weight loss?

Thanks
