Discuss w/ your Dr: Talk w/ your psychiatrist about the best choices for you - express your concerns and listen to the options but this is NOT a do-it-yourself project. You'll play a part in the choices but the training for managing psychosis is no small thing. Work w/ them - don't do it alone.

Both can: cause weight gain. Rarely see weight loss. Staying physically active and eating in a healthy way will help more than anything a change in medication might produce.
