I'm sure going up on Lamictal will help, but it'll take a while. It'll take like 4 weeks (if I want to avoid SJS).

I understand about the AP thing. I hate drowsiness and weight gain. I didn't gain weight on geodon. I actually lost weight. It made me drowsy though and gave me heart problems and sucked. But maybe it would work for you. When I was on seroquel I gained fifteen pounds. Better than sixty. But it made me tired, grumpy, and blunted my personality, and I looked horrible and bloated on it. Haldol didn't make me gain weight and it didn't make me drowsy, but that's not an atypical, and it gave me bad akathesia (or however you spell it).
I don't know man. **** APs. Seriously. I hate them all!
But I hope you find something that works.
Hugs!
