For a patient with pre diabetes we will like to avoid a medicine which causes more weight gain. In the list of medicine you have given olanzapine causes more weight gain followed by risperidone followed by fluvoxamine and fluoxetine (on long term use). At last I don't think it is mandatory for one with MDD or OCD to use antipsychotic drugs.
