I watch what I eat, and I shed 14 pounds last year, and when I was on just lamictal alone, I wasn't gaining any weight, and I was happy. I know I am pretty, but this isn't the reason why I am posting. The reason is, I almost lost all of the improvement of my weight loss from last year and almost gained all of it back. I was wondering if anyone knows of any other anti-psychotics that are used for treating dementia that doesn't cause weight gain? I also want to know if any others have this weight gain problem with seraquel. I don't eat a lot, and in september after school starts, I am going back to our local YMCA because the classes I want to sign up for now are free for members, but the thing is, is there any other anti-psychotics that treat dementia out there that don't cause weight gain that are weight neutral and don't cause a drug interaction with Lamictal?
Thanks all the help would be appreciated.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
I think all the anti psychotics and mood stabilizers cause weight gain and have sexual side effects too.
NUTTY,skinny and sexy, or sorta stable..that's the questian.
Good luck:)
The more replies from others the more the better! I luv everyone.

Abilify and Geodon seem to be the 2 alternatives, but I got akathesia on those (kinda like being a puppet whose strings are being jerked all the time. Creepy to watch) but lost 30 lb immediately.
As an equestrian everyone I know is like 98 lb and anorexic. I can eat 2 calories, and my body will burn one and be like, "Whooops, better save that other one just in case!" I used to be very thin, a dancer actually. So, I'm curvier now, the riding keeps me in shape, but yeah, it stinks.
