Geodon, Latuda or Abilify may be an option. They have been linked with weight gain although typically less marked than Zyprexa, Seroquel or Clozaril. Great question. Weight gain is an important issue and preventing it can be a challenge.

When I was a teen on Perhenazine I reached the lightest weight I’ve been since being anywhere near physical maturity. I was doing pretty good that one summer.

I don’t think Rexulti usually causes weight gain. It’s what I’m on now. But it’s very expensive.

I think Latuda is far by the only AP that causes minimal weight gain

I have heard the older ones don’t cause as much weight gain. Unfortunately you get td.

I gained a lot of weight on Latuda; so it depends on the person.
I’m also on Clozaril and gained less weight than with Latuda.

This is like a once in a blue moon type of situation. I’ve never heard of this before.

I’m adding a vote for Geodon. I also take Seroquel, but I don’t really feel anything from it. Some people find Seroquel too sedating, though. When they put me on Abilify I actually got an increase in physical strength from it, which is strange for an antipsychotic. You might try working with antidepressants. They might help.
