Yeah they started me on seroquel the most drowsy of the meds...also not particularly strong. If you want weight neutral try latuda next, if it works it works well. I believe you’ve got to eat with it though, same with geodon. Oddly the truly weight neutral ones require you to eat for absorption. But if you’re ok on rexulti then just stay on it, usually you hit a set point and you won’t go higher, it just may be higher weight than you like.
If you want to fight th gain, exercise and a veg diet worked well for me until I got tired of doing it.
