Tough question: Redirect this question to the doctor who prescribes the Insulin and Metformin because you have to consider what the medication might do to your blood sugar level, not just appetite or weight. I'm not blowing you off...i just don't want to point you in the wrong direction. The combination of diabetes medications requires that you be monitored closely on any new medication.

Geodon (ziprasidone): All antipsychotics can cause weight gain. The least Geodon (ziprasidone) , the most depakote. But you may gain weight from too much Insulin too.
