lithium, zyprexa and weight loss
My boyfriend has bipolar disorder type 1 and is currently taking lithium and zyprexa. He's gained weight since being put on them, and feels he's fighting a losing battle to lose that weight. It's a real downer for him, cause he feels that no matter what he does diet/exercise wise, the medications are going to make everything harder, and it has been hard for him. Has anyone else had this problem? Have you lost weight while on the medications? And what about switching from zyprexa to something else? Any thoughts/experiences? Thank you!
