just my 2 cents...there are other anti psychotics out there that don't cause weight gain. I take geodon, lamictal and klonipin to sleep.
what anti depressant are you taking. I am shocked that they have not put you on a mood stabiliser. I think you would benefit from lamictal it has antidepressant qualities as well as being a mood stabilizer. IT is in the anti convulsant family. I am sorry for your weight gain. and am sorry that you had the suicidal lthoughts....do you still struggle with them?
families are supposed to forgive us when we have mental health issues....Do they know how badly you were at that time?
((((HUGS))))
always nice to see you
