A member asked:
What has more weight gain zyprexa or invega sustenna? which is a more effective antipsychotic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Zyprexa--weight gain: First, both are very good antipsychotics. Invega Sustenna specifically is a long-acting shot. So it doesn't need to be taken daily. Invega is similar to Risperdal but developed to have fewer side effects for some people. Zyprexa comes in tablets and long-acting shots and works very well for many people. But, it is well known for causing significant weight gain in some people.
