The last thing a psych person needs is meds that pile on the pounds.
Big Pharma could do better but if you think on it .... One med causes weight gain? Prople are going to need meds to take care of the problems weight caused so they are getting a ton of money off us again ...
I loath Big Pharma ... we are all just lab rats

Thanks! Yeah it's very frustrating. Unfortunately the Invega worked fantastic for me. I had to get off it because my doctor noticed some signs of TD. She was going to put me on clozapine but I wanted to try without an AP and dropped the 100lbs I gained. I did great for over a year but voices and paranoia returned and have been going on for several months now. I tried to deal with it myself but it's overwhelming and interfering with my life too much
