Does anyone know of any med that works like Zyprexa but doesn't cause the weight gain? I've gained about 30lbs since going on it maybe 4ish months ago (although I think some of it may from the Seroquel, however I am dubious about that since seroquel has never made me gain in the past), and I absolutely hate how heavy I am and how fat I feel...but the thing is, Zyprexa is the gold standard for me and I keep ending up back on it because of that. I'm seeing my pdoc tomorrow and I'm hoping to possibly have ideas by then and talk to her about the weight gain.

BTW - I've been on Abilify and Geodon and Latuda (3 other APs). Abilify was horrible and sent me into an unbelievable depression, Geodon gave me a bad tremor, and Latuda worked for awhile then pooped out at my dose and my body couldn't handle a higher dose.
