Alternative to Zyprexa

I just take Zyprexa alone and it works for me. I am lucky I only need 2.5 mg it has a pretty strong effect on me. Because of the weight gain I want to know if anyone has found an alternative that works as well as zyprexa?
Best wishes to you all

Hi

Thank you.  I will bring up lamictal with the Doc. Thank you.  I researched it looks good to me, fingers crossed it will work for me.

Have you considered Lamictal? It doesn't cause weight gain, and when I take it alone, I don't feel any negative effects at all. I take a low dose...
