hi! Yeah, the last poster has a point--Geodon, probably the least used of the atypicals, is a good option. It tends to be kind of sedating, at least at first, but its weight neutral (watch out for problems w/ blood sugar though).
Another option might be Molindone. This is an odd antipsychotic, one that is considered "typical" but is actually pretty recent (developed in the 70s). It tends to cause weight *loss*, not weight gain. Anyway, it can cause EPS, and its high on akathisia, but...it doesn't seem to cause TD all that often,and it has antidepressant properties kind of built-in to its actions. Might be worth considering.
