> Geodon is a new antipsychotic that does not cause weight gain. It sounds like you need to have a discussion with your doctor. I think you should ask why your doctor put you on antipsychotics. It is possible she has a good reason that she has not told you about. Antipsychotics are not necessary for sleeping problems. There are a lot of safer options for sleep than AP's. I am worried about the weight gain you have experienced--this can lead to diabetes. If you need to be on AP's, a weight-neutral drug like Geodon or Abilify would be much better. I hope this helps.

Thanks for your help:)
