But I know people who have zero weight gain on Z and it’s a miracle for them.
Wow, that's really intense! Interesting how some gain so much weight and others don't gain any. I heard it is really sedating though, so I would imagine it would make someone more lethargic? Unless I am wrong about the sedation?

I have never tried Invega. Maybe I should bring it up to my pdoc.
