I've taken riperidol but stopped due to side effects I can't remember now (maybe anxiety attacks), took Zyprexa and was hungry all the time and gained a large amount of weight in a short amount of time.

Currently taken Seroquel and have taken it the longest - it worked for the longest time, but I'm currently in the process of changing it. I took it with Lamictal and I think that was a good combo for me, but my old pdoc wanted me on as little meds as possible, and possibly no medication (I don't agree with that and neither does my current pdoc). But the Seroquel hasn't been enough for awhile.

I did gain weight I've been on Seroquel for nearly a decade and I've gained 70 lbs or so. I'm not happy about that. We tried increase my Seroquel (I take 200 mgs) and I gained 10 lbs in a month and had brain fog so that experiment stopped.

Abilify made me groggy/tired all the time, pdoc said that happens in about 1 out of 10 people. Saphris gave me restless leg feeling and anxiety. So now I'm on Lithium and it seems to be working but I don't think I'm at a theraputic dose yet.
