I have tried other APs but they all have bad side effects for me or they just don't work. Like Abilify made me physically sick and it didn't work, Risperdal gave me the same problems are Invega, Seroquel and Zyprexa made me gain weight and eat a lot.
I am currently taking both Invega and Stelazine but my pdoc said she doesn't recommend doing that for a long time because it increases my risk of type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol. So she suggested either just taking Stelazine on its own or trying Clozaril

I think the important thing is you might have to tell your doctor about it because it's technically an off label use for metformin which cannot be pushed by pharm reps so not all the docs know about it.
