Hi ya,
Was just wondering if there is any anti-psychotic meds that are weight neutral? I am currently on 20mg of Olanzapine and i have put on 4 stone.. I want to come off it but my worker won't let me come off any anti psychotic meds cos of what happens when i come off it.. Me and my partner want to try for a baby but i am trying to loose weight but i can't seem to loose it even though i am doing exercise and healthy eating.. |

From what I've heard Olanzapine is the worst for weight gain. I've been on Risperidone for years and have never gained any weight on it. I've even managed to loose a significant amount of weight on it, when I dieted.

I don't remember the drug Splitimage mentioned causing weight issues with me either. If you Google such drugs on the Internet, then you might be able to pull up a list of what percentage of the people during trials gained weight on the various drugs in the anti-psychotic category.

I did well on Abilify, and have just gone back on it again. It is the only AP that did not give me weight gain.
