> Perhaps, if you want to continue using an AP, you could swap Seroquel for Geodon, which does not cause significant weight gain. Many people who have switched from one of the other newer AP's to Geodon due to weight gain have lost a lot of the extra weight. I hope this helps.
I am currently taking Zyprexa 5.0mg for its antidepressant effect. Unfortunately, I too have gained almost 10 pounds in two weeks. It seems to work well for depression, but my vanity is tugging at me to switch to either Geodon or Abilify. You would think that after years of treatment-resistance, I would be glad to trade twenty pounds for a new life.
I wish I knew if either of these two drugs would work as well as Zyprexa for depression. Any input?
