Anyone else had this problem?

Abilify, geodon and latuda are all weight neutral or weight negative. Geodon is definitely the most stimulating according to research and my personal experience. Latuda and abilify can be stimulating or sedating for different people. Seroquel is used a lot for anxiety and while it does often cause some weight gain, its not usually as much as zyprexa or risperdal. Hope you find something that works...
