The company claims there are fewer side effects yet like with any new drug we don't know the long-term effects as it hasn't been prescribed long enough to determine them. With Zyprexa, according to my first psychiatrist, Dr. Cruz, he knew it caused weight gain even though the company said it didn't. Eli Lilly lied. Will Vanda be upfront? One would certainly hope so.
For now, I'm sticking to my trusty atypical. I see Dr. Altman a week from Friday and I'll ask him what he thinks and report back to you. As always, I'd love to hear your comments.
