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!

Doesn't Geodon cause hair loss in some people too? I'd rather be fat than lose all my hair.
I dunno... I feel like most APs have horrible side effects, so I don't know if I want another AP. Latuda is the one AP with minimal side effects, but I can't take it anymore unless I up my Lipitor dosage, but then... Lipitor affects the way drugs are metabolized in the liver, which means most of my meds will be less effective with a higher Lipitor dose. And with a less effective Latuda, I'll have to up my Latuda dose... but a higher Latuda dosage might be "strong enough" to trump the effects of Lipitor.
I might ask my pdoc about going AP-free.
