I strongly second the view that it's the anti-psychotics which are causiing the weight gain. A few years ago, I took 5 mg. of Zyprexa. I gained 50 pounds in just six months, even though I was really eating carefully and exercising. I stopped it, for that reason, and because my fasting blood sugar had gone from 70 to 110.- everything returned to normal 6 months later- the weight just melted away without my doing anything special, and my blood sugar returned to normal also. Is there a chance you could very slowly lower the dosages of the AP's? If you do it very slowly, you might feel just as well on lower amounts. I think it would help the weight.
