My pdoc says studies show you don't gain weight on it, but I've gained weight since being on it. Is it coincidence or is it possible it's causing weight gain for me? (I'm also on Zoloft for depression)

I've never taken Vraylar, gittykitty, but wanted to send you hugs and to know I read your post. I hope that others with experience will share.

I take Vraylar and I haven't found much weight gain at all, if any. I was on the lowest dose though until recently. I can tell you however, Zoloft made me gain a bit of weight. Most SSRIs do.

I actually lost (quite a bit of) weight on Vraylar and I was on the highest dose (6mg).

I was never on it but I was on zoloft which caused me to gain 30 pounds in 3 months.
