GEODON weight loss / gain?

Posted by jtevers on July 16, 2004, at 20:32:22

i had hospitalized in 2000 and diagnosed bipolar. i had been administered neurontin (mood stabilizer) and seroquel (antipsychotic) that i have taken to this day.

problem is...i sleep too much and have gained nearly 80 lbs. during treatment.

i have heard that switching antipsychotics (from seroquel, with a moderate propensity to cause weight gain, to geodon, with a more neutral effect) may help and i hope that geodon instead will allow me to lose some weight.

any insight anyone?

it would be much appreciated.

thank you

jt
