>What about Stelazine? I believe I once read that it was not an offender, even though weight gain is listed as a side effect.

I expect it's similar to haloperidol ie. causes weight gain, but not to the extent of Zyprexa. Trifluoperazine causes Parkinsonism, dystonia and akathisia very frequently, and so it's a drug to use with great care. Perphenazine might be a bit better tolerated, but I expect it causes slightly more weight gain. If a potent dopamine antagonist is thought to be needed, sulpiride and amisulpride cause fewer extrapyramidal symptoms than the typical neuroleptics.
