Geodon is a supposedly weight neutral antipsychotic. I've tried every antipsychotic short of clozaril and this is the only one that has worked reasonably well. It's not weight neutral for me though. I've been able to lose about 50 lbs on it but only by starving myself. If I ate even 1200 calories a day I would gain weight like crazy. When I eat enough though it knocks out the hallucinations. Not that I even wanted them knocked out. They didn't bother me.
