Wt gain on atypicals: Weight gain is common on atypical- Geodon causing less issue. But you first and foremost need a medication that works for you.

Discuss an exercise regimen-swimming, walking Consider discussing use of metformin ( which helps with glucose control and weight) and follow up with endocrinologist or bariatric doctor.
