What anti psychotic do you reccomend?!


Question: What anti psychotic do you reccomend.?
I take Lexapro with Serquel, and they both work really, really well.
But I am almost not able to fit into my jeans anymore, because of weight gain,and I swear I am not eating alot My eating habits have not changed. It's gotta be the Seroquel. I am seeing my Psychiatrist tomorrow, and want to know what you take, or have taken and liked it. I need one that will help me relax and sleep a night. And keep my general anxiety in check. Seroquel is great, I just can't go on with the weight gain. Health Question & Answer


Answers:
The only one that really doesn't cause weight gain is abilify. It didn't work for me though because it actually can increase visual hallucinations. Weird huh.? I take risperdal now and I love it. I am embracing my fatness. I am the heaviest I have ever weighed in my life. I have to buy all new clothes because I don't fit into any of last year's winter clothes, but oh well. I am a jolly fat guy.Health Question & Answer

I'm also on risperdal which has given me moderate weight gain. I can still fit into shirts and jeans that I've had for about (started risperdal about a year and eight months ago) three years now except one pair of shorts that I cannot fit into anymore. This is the only anti psychotic I've tried and I don't know about other AP's. It does stop the hallucinations and paranoia ideation so if it causes a little weight gain I'm okay with that I guess.
