I am just wondering if anyone knows of a good psychotic drug that has less adverse affects, and doesn't put weight on ?.
I took Seroquel for years, it worked wonders for me, but I gained so much weight. I had a break about a year ago and my new doc put me on geodone. It is not as good as seroquel so I really have to work on staying present and mindfullness, but I have lost almost 100 pounds over the past year!
Good luck to you, it is tough regardless of what meds we are on
