Geodon is weight neutral. I was on it for years.
I now take seroquel to sleep at night. I over sleep and wake up groggy but it is much better being able to sleep thru the night.
Ask your pdoc about this if you want.

Thank you. The anti-psychotics always made me feel really weird. It's so odd how people take differently to meds for the same, or rather, similar disorders. I think that the lamictal is working, but I need to increase it. I started on an extremely low dose because of the sensitivity to it. I would make me light headed and dizzy. That subsided fairly quickly. I have stepped up since then, but I don't think that it's enough.
I am going to ask my doctor when I see him about sleep aids. The Klonopin works, but I am so tired and droggy that I just won't get out of bed. With work, I just can't have that side effect. I don't know if a sleeping aid exists that won't do that. That does scare me.
I haven't heard about the meds that you are on. I will definitely discuss this during my next appointment. Thank you for reaching out and for the advice!
