> My son has gained 60 lbs on Zyprexa in 5 months. School is out next week and his Dr. recommended we gradually switch him to Abilify. Last summer he had Abilify and couldn't sleep. He would get up during the night and roam the neighborhood(scary!).
Taking a moderate dose of Seroquel at night in addition to the Abilify might be worth taking a look at. If Abilify doesn't treat adequately the instability you describe, perhaps Seroquel would be an ideal replacement. I know people who have lost weight on high dosages of Seroquel - up to 700mg.
