I have 2 thoughts. First, have you ever been on Gabapentin? I have extremely severe anxiety that turns delusional and have been on over 20 meds for it - the only one that has worked long-term has been Gabapentin. I've not noticed any side effects.
And this is probably a dumb question, but I assume you've tried the atypical (newer) AP's? Vraylar is *supposed* to be weight neutral and while I don't have much else to say for it one way or the other, I will say that I didn't feel hungry on it. I also have a big problem with tremors, but didn't notice the tremor worsening from Vraylar (I did with Haldol, right away).
