Question by Blue Baby: What atypical antipsychotic does not cause weight gain?
I am on Geodon now (for my BPD) because my doc told me that it does not cause weight gain. I quit taking Zyprexa and Risperidone since I gained a lot of weight on them.
Thanks!
I have Borderline Personality Disorder, and am on Lamictal and Zoloft already. I take these plus Geodon.

Geodon is good. But I’ve been on Lamictal for almost 7 months and have lost weight (20lbs) on it. I was 160lbs, 5’9, now am 140lbs.
It has curbed my appetite, and importantly, has improved my life 3-fold.
Ihave Bipolar 2, and am only on Lamictal. It has worked wonders for me and has very few side effects for most peopl.
Maybe you can ask your pdoc is this is an option.
Good luck.
