It's either gain a little weight and not crash rock bottom when I go down.
What's Ativan for?
Not sure of another drug like Geodon? Just research it or hopefully someone here can help. Good luck
I take the Ativan to help me relax enough to fall asleep, and I'm going to try it to see if it will help relax me enough to where I don't feel like I'm going to lose it on my family or any time I get worked up and upset. We're thinking maybe it's from the heat and the fact that I can't handle heat very well because of the meds that's causing me to be more irritable.

I've researched a little a while ago. I'm hoping I can find out more about the different meds so I have something to think about as I compare them, as well as their prices. I've thought about either Latuda or Saphris because they aren't supposed to cause a lot of weight gain, but they are really expensive. I don't think they make generic for them yet.
