Epitec Vs Zyprexa

Hi, I have Bipolar depression since my childhood. I have been on Epitec 200mg for 9years now. I have not picked up any weight and honestly look terrible with being so skinny. I approached my Doctor and he tried to put me on Epilim but it did not seem to keep me stable so i moved back to Epitec. I've spoken to someone which introduced me to Zyprexa.
I would like to know if Zyprexa would give me the same mental treatment as Epitec but will increase my weight.

Hello, Mee! How are you?

It might, but there's no guarantees and, even if it does, it will only last while you are still taking it.

How tall are you and how much do you weigh?

It would most likely be best to stick with using the medication that works for you, rather than trying something else, just because you're worried about how you look.

We are all different, some short, some tall, some skinny, some obese, it is our very differences that make the world go round. :-)
