Abilify causes me to be hungry and gain weight - I don't know if it does something to my metabolism or what.
I loved Seroquel for sleep, but anything over 100mg and I gained weight.
Currently trying to make Geodon work. Doc likes it due to no weight gain. But I need 80mg at night to sleep and 40mg during the day. Anything less and Geodon makes me manic!
I am BPII and Geodon has really helped with depression. But, I think you really have to be careful with it. I think at lower doses it can make people manic.
I also have Klonopin to use as needed for anxiety.
