Abilify doesn't seem to pack on the pounds like the others. However, the med has made some people really jumpy and anxious. But you won't know until you try it.

Abilify and Geodon both seem to be weight neutral. Abilify has a tendency to make you jumpy. It did for me. Geodon seems to help or make things worse. For me, it made things a lot worse.

Have you thought of the older APs? From my understanding they are pretty much weight neutral.

Seroquel doesn't seem to be too bad. With this drug, it really depends on the individual, but might be worth a try.

Seroquel made me lose weight but it was because of the agitaded sleep I think

thanks all.
And Phillipa, I am not sure about adding an AP med. I am very confused obviously..I will talk to my pdoc. I guess I got freaked out when I was suicidal the other day.....
