It’s all trial and error. Sorry, but you and your doc will have to do the leg work. Everyone’s reaction to every drug is unique.

I was told Seroquel/quetiapine isn’t terrible for weight gain at the dosage I’m taking anyway. I don’t know how it ranks for dystonia.

Olanzapine is the one that makes me eat until my stomach hurts (and I’m still hungry)
Thanks for this!

I guess it varies, too. I didn’t gain any weight on Abilify, but my daughter gained 30 pounds. I was also told that one wasn’t going to be bad for weight gain at the dose taken
Thanks for this!

Geodon doesn’t cause weight gain and helps you get a good night’s sleep.

I take geodon. Have been losing weight recently. Saphris doesn't cause weight gain either.

I forgot about Saphris. It’s really good too and weight neutral.
