I changed to ziprasidone as aripi caused akathisia etc, zip caused no symptoms except i gained like 2kgs within a week on it?!?! i'm confused as ik it's not supposed to do that, but i've seen it noted it can rarely do this, does anyone know why?

DO NOT BE SURPRISED: weight gain secondary to increased appetite and or metabolic shifts, not unusual with psychoactive drugs, and many other medications for that matter. Modify your diet, especially portion sizing, do aerobic exercise, and have your doctors design these programs.
