Geodon tends to be weight-neutral; in fact, I lost about 20# when I was first on it. Then I added the Zyprexa and the pounds came back...and brought friends! Trouble is, Zyprexa is the glue that holds me together and I've been on it for over 2 years, so I doubt I'm coming off of it anytime soon. So I just deal with the weight and thank God I haven't gained any more in the past year and a half.
