NuttyJoe Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I may come off APs altogether for awhile, but I usually end up on them again. I can't deal with zyprexa anymore. I've tried everything to keep my weight down, but I can't combat the weight gain. It just seems to steadily rise. I've been on it for 3 months and I've gained 10 pounds and it keeps going up. I've tried exercise, changing diet, working long hours....fail. Are any of the other APs better as far as weight gain goes? Need to hear from somebody who's gone through it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This med is really good at treating OCD in some people. Not as much sedation as Zyprexa which for you I don't know if that would be a good or bad thing. It mixes very well with Celexa.

The Emperor Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Just my two cents, but I've lost about ten pounds on Abilify so far. I haven't been on anything that really made me gain a lot of weight though. . . and it's not as though I'm not TRYING to lose the weight, because I am.

helloheartbreak Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Geodon was good for me weight wise, and so far with Fanapt I haven't had any weight gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papertrees Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Abilify and Risperdal Consta (injectible form of Risperdal) get my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vapourware Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Ziprasidone seems weight-neutral for me so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
