I did experience weight gain and hunger with Abilify in the past. Seroquel was great for sleep, but if I got over 100mg I was hungry too! Weight gain with Risperdal.

Zyprexa in tiny dose was great (2.5 - 5mg) but that was used as an emergency med. Not long term due to what the doc thought would be serious weight gain.


I'm thinking of splitting my dose of Geodon more evenly. Last night I took 40mg and this morning I took 40mg. I'm not sure that is high enough. I may need to try 60 and 60.

I see doc next week. I may need to see about adding a small dose of some sort of mood stabilizer that wouldn't cause too much weight gain.

I have tried Depakote sprinkle (capsules) in the past at just 125mg. If I went up to 500mg I was a zombie.

Lithium makes me gain weight and lose my hair.
