Metabolic syndromes: In some clinical trials, nizatidine, amantadine, reboxetine, topiramate, sibutramine and metformin proved effective in preventing or reversing atypical antipsychotic-induced bodyweight gain. If weight gain occurs after second-generation antipsychotic initiation, despite lifestyle intervention, metformin should be considered (newall et al 2012) newer drugs may offer less weight gain.

Discuss with your dr: There is no withdrawal per se, but there is a risk of relapse. Alternatives should be discussed with your doctor. Best wishes.
