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.


I have a history of eating disorders and I refuse to touch zyprexa because of this. A med like it that's helped me sleep (like zyprexa does) is saphris and its weight neutral! However I'm currently back on seroquel and its been my love for 13 years. Never gained on it because of my ED.
