Question:

What is a good antipsychotic other than zyprexa and abilify?

i can't stop gaining weight on zyprexa. i tried abilify for a month and couldn't sleep and didn't feel like it was working for me. are there other antipsychotics out there that won't make me gain weight?


Answers:

As you've read, you're in good company with the weight gain. Some that weren't mentioned that may have less weight gain for you are Prolixin (fluphenazine) and Geodon. Keep taking your medication, though. And you sure can't go wrong by watching your consumption of sodas and fruit juices, getting regular exercise, and managing your diabetes if you're diabetic. I hope you find something that works for you. Peace.
