Bizi, the group sounds great to me. I went to one for people with mood disorders (clinical depression in my case) for a while and found it very helpful.
One thing which came up there is that a member with bipolar said that she noticed increased appetite after being prescribed Zyprexa. For her it went away after about a month of being on it.
Maybe something to bear in mind for you - you could talk with your pdoc after a month or so if your increased appetite does not go away?
