I'm looking for an antipsychotic which:
(1) does not cause weight gain, and (2) is good for treating mania A lot of antipsychotics are good for depression, but I need something for my mania. Does anyone know any antipsychotics that meet my requested criteria? I don't mind having a *little* weight gain because I'm underweight... But I've heard some medications make people gain like 50 lbs, and I don't want that! Like 10 lbs is okay with me, but not 50. |

I take Geodon, and it works great for me. Haven't been manic in over four months

Ah, I was taking Latuda for a while, but I had to stop because of the cholesterol problems it caused. I'm now on Lipitor, though, so I suppose I could try Latuda again.
I'll look into Geodon -- thanks! |

Because I am hypomanic and had a lot of weight gain from Seroquel my doctor just switched me to Saphris last week. I have lost 3 pounds and my appetite is way down since starting it.

I still take Saphris although I'm transitioning off it. When I took 13.5 mg at night I almost always slept ten hours

What about Invega? If Abilify doesn't work for me my pdoc is going to try me on that next.

Thanks, everyone. I'll probably ask about Invega and Geodon... possibly Abilify too
