You are totally right in expressing your displeasure to your doc regarding you med's side effect. There are alternative anti-psychotics to try, and if necessary, meds you can take to decrease your appetite. Personally I think your doc is being lazy or overly cautious. If you are up for the challege of med changes, he/she ought to be as well.

I know a lot of really great docs who are happy to work with patients who express doubt about their med regimen. That's their job afterall! A good doc likes a challenge.

Take care, Slippers
