I’ve gained 100 pounds on olanzapine and Depakote together. Is there another ap that I can try that doesn’t cause weight gain?
According to webmd
Antipsychotics with a lower risk of weight gain are:
Aripiprazole (Abilify)
Asenapine (Saphris)
Brexipiprazole (Rexulti)
Haloperidol (Haldol)
Lurasidone (Latuda)
Ziprasidone (Geodon)

Anything is better than Olanzapine for weight loss. I was eating a lot on Olanzapine. For me all other APs were similar for appetite, Abilify, Latuda and Risperdal. I read that the best for weight loss is Caplyta even users here say they lost weight on it.

Abilify and rexulti seem to not cause much weight gain. I’m also on a very new ap called blonanserin, which is available in Korea and Japan for now. This ap actually really changed my life.

I thought your delusions were very persistent? Weight gain shouldn’t be your biggest concern right now and treating your delusions should take priority

No ap is going to fully take away my delusion, so I should at least take one that is not going to give me this side effect which is weight gain.
Clozapine and amisulpride might you should try either one of those
