Hi everyone!
I am currently on Seroquel and I believe I have actually gained ten pounds in the past week....... I was on geodon, but it made me grind my teeth..... Any advice for the weight gain? Thank You, Brontoset |

Have you tried abilify...it's pretty weight neutral. The problem with AP weight gain is even if you fight it for a few weeks or months it will catch up with you eventually. It's hard not to eat when you are hungry. I actually ate two stale cupcakes this one time because I felt I needed to eat...the first one I didn't know was stale but the second one I knew and ate it anyway. I basically added an extra snack time right before bed.

I haven't gained any weight while on Risperidone, and I've been on it for years. Also haven't gained any weight on Seroquel, but I've only been on it for a short while, and on a low dose.
But I'm really strict about my diet - with absolutely no snacking between meals. A couple of years ago- I went to a dietician and following her advice managed to lose 20 lbs while on a moderately high dose of risperidone plus AD's. so it is possible to lose weight while on them. I've kept the weight off, but have stopped losing as I'm now in a boarding house that provides meals, and I can't cook for myself. splitimage

Hmm....my first suggestion was going to be Geodon because I didn't gain any weight on that. Maybe try Latuda...that actually massively decreased my appetite.
