Latunda is a new drug, abilify has been around fairly long....it does work well with depression, but in your case if its causing weight gain, Geodon is an option, they put me on geodon in the psychatric hospital in 2010 on the max dose, its not as effective as Abilify, but it can cause weight loss....couple years before that i was on both geodon and zyprexa together....that was the most potent antipsychotic regime i ever was on....i was on both max doses of both of them.....they ripped me off xanax and put me on that....it was awful....
antipsychotics do reduce dopamine that causes agitation and paranoia.....when i take zyprexa it gives me a relief....of thoughts that are bothering but it is the exact opposite of adderall....adderall opens your intrests, and motivation, it is a good drug, and widely used now in the US.....its a pep pill....but it has many things to increase cognitive function.....
add Namanda to the regime, keep the abilify, but if the wieght is option, go for topamax or geodon
