I'm on Lamictal and Seroquel. I like both of them but I think my psych is going to pull me off them. I've developed fatty liver and both can cause it. I don't want the disease to progress any further than it has so I need to take preventive measures.

What antipsychotics and mood stablilizers have worked for you guys? My main concerns are a relapse while switching meds (which, if it happens, it happens) and weight gain. Losing weight is something they told me I must do. My psych isn't happy with the number of mixed states I'm having and the fact I'm having hallucinations despite being on Seroquel. She mentioned Thorazine and that absolutely is not going to be happening. I'm curious about Geodon. I'm just not sure what other meds are out there in both categories.
